Ingredients
  

For the Cucumber Yogurt Dressing

  • 2 medium cucumbers about 7 inches each
  • cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • ¼ cup fresh dill roughly chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 large garlic clove finely minced or pressed
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Salad

  • 2 cans 15 oz each chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ¾ cup celery finely sliced (about 2 stalks)

Instructions

  • Grate the cucumbers using the large holes of a box grater into a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels
  • Gather the corners of the towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible from the cucumbers
  • You should have approximately ¾ cup of squeezed cucumber; transfer to a large mixing bowl
  • Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper to the bowl
  • Stir the dressing ingredients thoroughly until well combined
  • Add the drained chickpeas, sliced celery, and chopped capers to the bowl
  • Gently fold everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the dressing
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop (though it can be served immediately if needed)
  • Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary
