Chickpea and feta salad is one of the easiest and quickest meal salads and it’s very tasty too. The cauliflower will give the salad some crunch and the creaminess of the feta some richness. Chickpeas are a source of phytoestrogens, and most vegetables also contain these hormone balancing nutrients. If you want to increase the phytoestrogen content of the salad, you could add some chopped celery or fennel.
