Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.

    Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley, being careful not to break the feta too much.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

        Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is well-coated.

          Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.

            Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
