Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese to form a colorful base for your salad.
  2. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is well mixed and emulsified.
  3. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the vibrant salad mix. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are coated in that zesty goodness.
  4. Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your palate.
  5. Serve or Chill: You can serve the salad immediately or let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad will get more flavorful but may lose some crunch over time.
