Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 teaspoon dried oregano

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.

    Add the kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl, mixing gently to combine all the ingredients without breaking the feta.

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

        Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing lightly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

          Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

            Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

              Before serving, give it another light toss and garnish with fresh parsley or mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
