Ingredients:
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
- 2 medium Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced on an angle
- 1 cup sliced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
Directions:
1. Prepare the dressing by combining feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor. Process until smooth, about 10 seconds. Stir in the chopped dill.
2. Divide the spinach, chicken, chickpeas, cucumbers, peppers, and almonds among 4 plates. Drizzle each plate with 1/4 cup of the dressing before serving.
Tip: For the best flavor, toast the almonds before using them in the recipe. Place them in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, for about 2 to 4 minutes.
To make ahead: Refrigerate the dressing (Step 1) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
