Mediterranean Chickpea Salad | Easy Side Dish Recipes

• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas rinsed and drained
• 2 mini cucumbers chopped
• 1 tbsp red onion chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper chopped
• 1 cup little tomatoes (grape, cherry, etc.) cut into halves
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
• 3.5 oz feta (packed in oil & herbs if possible)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic minced
• Salt & pepper to taste

1. Drain & rinse your chickpeas and add them to a salad bowl.
2. Prep your veggies and herbs, and add them to the salad bowl as you go along
3. Add the dressing ingredients (olive oil, lemon juice, garlic) right into the salad bowl and toss gently. Taste and adjust as needed (e.g. add more olive oil), and season with salt & pepper.

NOTES:

• If you can't find cubed feta that's packed in oil and herbs, any feta will work fine. Also, don't worry about it being exactly 3.5 ounces (that was the size package mine happened to come in).
• This salad is very flexible. Add more or less of any ingredient depending on your preferences and what's in your fridge.
• Serves 2-4 depending on what else it's served with.
