Creating the Chickpea Cucumber Salad with Feta and Tomatoes is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas in a colander. Set aside to allow excess water to drip off.
2. Chop Vegetables: Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and parsley.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and parsley.
4. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until well blended.
5. Dress Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is adequately coated.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or dressing if needed.
7. Chill (Optional): For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving, although it can be enjoyed immediately.
8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls and enjoy!
