LET’S MAKE IT
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Wash the vegetables, then dice the cucumber, pepper, and onion and halve the tomatoes.
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the chickpeas and prepared vegetables. Toss well so the dressing reaches everything.
Taste and adjust the lemon or seasoning. Let the salad stand for 5 minutes before serving, if you have time.
For a milder onion flavor, rinse the diced onion briefly under cold water and drain well.
Swap chickpeas for white beans. Serve with flatbread or cooked grains for a fuller meal.
