Ingredients

Salad 

  • 2 cans chickpeas 15 oz / 425 g each can, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cucumber 10.5 oz / 300 g, diced
  • 225 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 red onion 3.5 oz / 100 g, finely sliced
  • 100 g kalamata olives
  • 100 g feta cheese diced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Dressing

  • 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) drained and rinsed chickpeas, 1 diced cucumber (10.5 oz / 300 g), 1½ cups (225 g) halved cherry tomatoes, 1 finely sliced red onion (3.5 oz / 100 g), ½ cup (75 g) kalamata olives, 3.5 oz (100 g) diced feta cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley to a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  • Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend.

Notes

Let the Flavors Settle: I like to let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving so the chickpeas absorb the dressing, and the flavors come together nicely. 
Use Good Feta: A block of feta that you crumble yourself usually gives the salad a creamier texture and better flavor than pre-diced feta.
