Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Drain the chickpeas and pat them dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with the Greek vinaigrette, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate.
2. Zest the lemon, then quarter it. Roughly chop the dill. Halve the cucumber lengthwise and slice into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Season the cucumber with salt and pepper.
3. Microwave the grain blend according to package instructions. Transfer the cooked grains to the bowl with the chickpea mixture. Add the lemon zest, dill, almonds, half of the cucumber and half of the feta. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, red pepper hummus and the juice from one lemon wedge (use two wedges for 4 servings). Mix well.
5. Divide the chickpea-grain mixture between serving bowls. Dollop with the creamy red pepper hummus mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cucumber and remaining feta. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges on the side.
