1 cup chickpeas canned, drained and rinsed
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup cucumber
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
1/4 cup red onion rough chopped
1/4 cup parsley
2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
1 lemon juiced
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea salad mixture and toss gently to coat the salad evenly.
Add the crumbled feta cheese to the salad and give it one final, gentle toss.
Serve the salad immediately or let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
When you're ready to serve, divide the salad into two portions and enjoy!
