This is the ultimate summer salad - refreshing, crisp, light & seriously delicious! It is perfect to share as a side dish at your next warm weather outing or enjoy as a meal. Once prepared, the finished salad doesn’t last long around our kitchen with the bright flavor that pairs in perfect harmony with the fresh veggies!

A big thank you to Kristin Marr at Live Simply for the creation of the original recipe. A slight modifcation to the original recipe has been made to incorporate the benefits of our Wild Fire Cider Elixir.

INGREDIENTS

Salad:

3 cups sliced cucumbers

1 cup sliced red onions

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2-3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup chickpeas cooked, or garbanzo beans, optional

Dressing:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp Wild Fire Cider Elixir

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp salt

black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl (with enough room to gently toss the salad), combine the salad ingredients: cucumbers, red onions, cilantro, crumbled feta cheese, and chickpeas.

In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together until the dressing is creamy: olive oil, Wild Fire Cider Elixir, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. You'll be able to add more salt and pepper to flavor the salad, if desired, once the dressing and salad ingredients are combined.

Gently toss the dressing with the salad ingredients. Taste the salad, and add more salt and pepper according to taste. Serve immediately, or allow the salad to rest in the fridge for at least thirty minutes for the flavors to combine and intensify. The salad will keep for about 2 days in the fridge.
