Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano to the dressing. You can also lightly toast the chickpeas in a pan before adding them to the salad for a slightly nutty crunch.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have cherry tomatoes, use 1 large diced tomato. Kalamata olives can be added for a briny kick. For a dairy-free version, omit the feta or use a plant-based feta alternative.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The vegetables may soften slightly over time, but the flavor will remain excellent.
