Salad Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Combine Beans: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas and black beans.
  2. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
  3. Toss Beans with Dressing: Pour the dressing over the beans and toss to coat evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  4. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Add the thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.
  5. Mix Together: Gently toss all ingredients together until everything is well combined.
  6. Chill and Meld Flavors: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for a few hours or overnight.
  7. Serve: Serve the salad cold or at room temperature as a refreshing dish.

Notes

  • Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
  • For added crunch, try adding diced bell peppers or cucumbers.
  • Adjust the amount of red onion based on your taste preference.
  • If you don’t have feta cheese, goat cheese or sharp cheddar can be great substitutes.
