Step by step
Instructions
If you want to prepare the salad ahead, chop the vegetables and make the dressing separately. Combine them just before serving so the cucumber doesn’t release too much water. For very watery cucumbers, scoop out the soft center with seeds using a spoon.

Variants and alternatives
Heartier version: add 100 g crumbled feta or Balkan cheese and reduce the salt in the dressing a bit. To pack: put the dressing on the bottom, then chickpeas and vegetables on top. Toss just before eating. No garlic: omit the garlic and add more lemon juice or chopped mint. As a main: serve with pita bread, a toasted tortilla or cooked bulgur.
