Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 English cucumber, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and parsley. Toss gently to mix.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss well, then crumble the feta over the top and fold once more. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the deepest flavor, let the dressed salad sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. If you’re making it ahead, store the salad and dressing separately and add the feta right before you eat.
