  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Place chickpeas in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and feta cheese.
  3. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  4. Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently until evenly coated.

Notes

Allowing the salad to rest for 20 minutes enhances the flavor as the dressing absorbs into the chickpeas and vegetables.
