Rinse the berries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel. Divide evenly into four serving bowls as the base layer.
π‘ Use frozen berries if fresh arenβt available; thaw slightly for better texture.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of Greek yogurt over the center of each berry bowl for a creamy contrast.
π‘ Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for richer flavor and added healthy fats.
Sprinkle a handful of pumpkin seeds and cashews over each bowl for crunch and a boost of healthy fats.
π‘ Lightly toast the nuts and seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes to enhance flavor if time allows.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium, then pat dry with a paper towel and place in a large mixing bowl.
π‘ Drying the chickpeas helps the dressing adhere better for more flavor.
Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion. Add all to the chickpeas and toss to combine.
π‘ Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for a balanced bite in every spoonful.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the chickpea mixture, add chopped parsley, and toss well to coat evenly.
π‘ Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
