Mediterranean chickpea salad

Directions

1. 1

   Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then dry them well. Put them in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Choose your vegetables and cut them into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice strong ingredients such as red onion.

3. 3

   Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until lightly emulsified.

4. 4

   Toss the chickpeas and vegetables with the dressing. Fold in delicate herbs, feta, or other creamy additions last.

5. 5

   Taste for salt and acidity. Chill for at least 30 minutes if possible, then serve with your selected base and crunchy finishes.

This is the meal-prep one. The rest gives the chickpeas time to absorb the lemony dressing; add delicate greens only when serving.
