Ingredients

  • 200g 1 cup canned chickpeas
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • handful of parsley
  • 1/2 juice of a half lemon
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 2 slices feta cheese optional

Instructions

  • Add the chickpeas in a colander and rinse them in the water, transfer them in a bowl and pat dry them with a paper towel. Transfer the chickpeas to a medium bowl.
  • Cut the tomato into wedges, then cut the wedges in half. Cut cucumber lengthwise then cut those through the middle once again. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Dice the onion and the parsley. Add everything to the bowl with the chickpeas.
  • Combine salt, lemon, and olive oil in a small bowl and mix. Add half of the dressing mix with a spoon, then add more dressing if desired.

Notes

  • You can store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you've already added the dressing to the salad would stay fresh for a few hours. Without the dressing, the salad can be stored for up to a day.
