Ingredients

  • 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Minced fresh basil, to taste
  • Crumbled feta cheese, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large bowl combine chickpeas, onion, pepper, garlic, and olives. Add lemon juice, olive oil, basil, cheese, salt and pepper and toss until well incorporated.
