Ingredients

  • 30 oz canned chickpeas
  • 2 cucumber
  • 1 lb roma tomatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 4 oz sliced black olives
  • 6 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. Whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, grated garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper into a dressing.

  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and toss them with a third of the dressing so they soak while you chop.

  3. Cut the cucumbers and tomatoes into large chunks and slice the red onion thin.

  4. Combine the vegetables, olives, and chickpeas in a big bowl with the remaining dressing.

  5. Let it sit 10 minutes so the tomatoes release their juice into the dressing.

  6. Crumble the feta over the top and serve with bread or pita.
