Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 bell pepper diced (red, yellow, or green)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Mix the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion.
  • Add the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese on top of the veggie mixture; this will add that creamy tang that we all love.
  • Prepare the Dressing: In a small separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your taste preferences.
  • Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine everything evenly.
