Crisp cucumbers and hearty chickpeas are dressed with a lemony and garlicky Greek yogurt mixture. A hint of honey brings harmony to the dressing; the hum of sweetness softens the tartness of the yogurt and introduces a richness to the dish. This no-cook salad is hearty enough for a standalone meal, but should you wish to dress it up, here are a few serving suggestions: Eat with flatbread, falafel, veggie skewers, or roasted Greek lemon potatoes.","servings":4,"servings_text":"4 servings","prep_time":"PT10M","cook_time":"PT5M","total_time":"PT15M","ingredients":[{"text":"1 cup Greek yogurt","item":"Greek yogurt","quantity":1,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"1 garlic clove, grated","item":"garlic clove","quantity":1,"preparation":"grated"},{"text":"2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving","item":"olive oil","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp","preparation":"plus more for serving"},{"text":"2 teaspoons honey","item":"honey","quantity":2,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"1 lemon, halved (or more, if desired, for seasoning)","item":"lemon, halved","quantity":1,"preparation":"or more, if desired, for seasoning"},{"text":"Salt and pepper","item":"Salt and pepper"},{"text":"1 pound Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and cut into ½-inch pieces","item":"Persian cucumbers","quantity":1,"unit":"lb","preparation":"halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces"},{"text":"2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained","item":"(15-ounce) cans chickpeas","quantity":2,"preparation":"drained"},{"text":"Big handful dill, chopped","item":"Big handful dill","preparation":"chopped"},{"text":"Big handful mint leaves, chopped","item":"Big handful mint leaves","preparation":"chopped"},{"text":"2 scallions, thinly sliced","item":"scallions","quantity":2,"preparation":"thinly sliced"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"To a large bowl, add the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, honey and the juice of ½ lemon; whisk to combine.
