👩🍳 Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, halved Kalamata olives, and fresh chopped parsley.

2
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined, creating your lemon-herb dressing.

Pour the prepared dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

If desired, gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese before serving. This Mediterranean Chickpea & Veggie Bowl is best served fresh as a standalone meal or a vibrant side dish.
💡 Notes
Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. For a protein boost, add grilled chicken or baked salmon. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days, though the vegetables may soften slightly.
