(163 calories | 5 2 2 myWW *SmartPoints value per serving)

This easy, healthy, and delicious Chickpea and Feta Salad is another one of those winning weight watchers recipes from Weight Watcher's Weekly.

It makes a great satisfying lunch on a bed of greens and would be a nice change of pace from the typical potato salad or macaroni salad at your next summer potluck or barbecue.

Weight Watchers Chickpea & Feta Salad

I love salad for lunch, especially during the warmer months, and this Mediterranean Chickpea and Feta has been a hit since the first time I made it more than three years ago.

It's a great tasty way to fill yourself up with Weight Watchers power foods without weighing you down.

I love chickpeas (AKA garbanzo beans), feta cheese, and all foods Mediterranean, so this is a definite keeper for me. The day I made it I had it for lunch and again at dinner since it was so good.

Skinny on Weight Watchers Chickpea & Feta Salad

I pretty much made the recipe as it was written the first time. The only thing I did was add a little chopped cucumber.

Since then I've modified it to suit whatever was on hand.

Tasty additions have included chopped tomato, celery, radish, olives and capers.
