Creamy Zaatar Cucumber Chickpea Salad
Otherwise known as The FRESH salad in my house 😝
This salad is sooo good. Perfect for lunch stuffed in a pita, or as a side dish with some fish, or even just on its owns.
It has all the bright tangy creamy flavors in one of the best crunchy salads you will make.
