Last week (after I ate all the chocolate chip cookies) I got on a major health kick. I went to the gym after work. I did yoga before work. I broke out the blender for some mega green smoothies. I was in total winter-is-gone-lets-all-eat-vegetables mode.

When I went to the grocery I grabbed radishes, kale, eggplant, cucumbers, anything green I grabbed! Then, two days later I was all I-just-want-a-cheeseburger-please-don’t-give-me-anything-green. Ha!

Even though I wasn’t craving all of the healthy stuff my fridge was packed with it so I had to power through and put my greasy cheeseburger cravings aside. I made a quick and easy Cucumber Chickpea Salad to pack for lunch. This salad is packed with spiralized cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, and feta in a simple lemon vinaigrette. This is the perfect summer salad to pack for picnics or potlucks. It is super healthy, simple and is full of ingredients you probably already have on hand.

If you don’t have a spiralizer you can definitely still make this by thinly slicing or chopping a cucumber. I just happened to use mine because I think the cucumber noodles look pretty.

    I always feel the same way after eating too much sugar, but then I'm craving something not so healthy a few days later again! This salad looks amazing, I love how light and fresh it is too. I could definitely see myself eating this for lunch!
