Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cucumber, diced

  • 1/2 cucumber, diced

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • 1. Prepare Your Stars:
    Wash and drain those chickpeas, letting them look great like the food treasures they are.
    Cut the red bell pepper into bright squares and cut the red onion small, making it less sharp for a tasty mix.
    Chop the parsley a little bit, now it’s ready to add a burst of freshness.
  • 2. The Flavorful Harmony:
    In a spacious bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic – the tangy trio that will conduct our flavor orchestra.
    Toss in chickpeas, red pepper, and red onion, allowing them to harmonize with the dressing’s melody.
    Sprinkle in oregano, salt, and pepper, then gently fold in the chopped parsley – the finishing touch to this culinary masterpiece.
  • 2. The Flavorful Harmony:
    In a big bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice and cut garlic together. This taste group will make our food taste really great.
    Add chickpeas, red pepper, and red onion to the salad. Mix them up with the sauce. Let the flavors blend together.
    Add oregano, salt, and pepper with the chopped parsley – this is the last step to make this food amazing.
  • 3. Let the Flavors Mingle (Optional):
    Put a cover on the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This causes the flavors to mix together like a good tune. If you’re in a rush (we also know that!), then you can skip this part and just start right away.

Tips:

  • Spice Up Your Life: Feeling adventurous? Make your clothes taste better by adding a little bit of chili flakes or smoked paprika for a small burst of heat.
  • Crunchy Indulgence: Longing for added texture? Add some chopped toasted nuts or crumbled feta cheese for a tasty surprise.
  • Salad Remix: Think of this recipe as a starting point! Change the vegetables to your favorite ones like cut celery, small cherry tomatoes or sliced zucchini.
  • Go All Out: Show your chickpea salad on top of lettuce or spinach, or put it inside pita bread or avocado halves for a food that is easy to carry and has lots of protein.
