1/2 cup diced red onion
1 large lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine drained chickpeas, chopped cucumber, and diced red onion.

4. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until evenly coated.

For best flavor, let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chop vegetables uniformly for balanced bites.
Store in airtight containers to prevent sogginess.
Substitute bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for added color and crunch.
