Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by preparing the fresh ingredients: dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and halve or quarter the tomatoes. Rinse and drain chickpeas, mince garlic, and chop parsley and cilantro.
- In a medium bowl, combine dressing ingredients: whisk together red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Gradually drizzle olive oil while whisking to create an emulsification. Stir in oregano and cumin, seasoning to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpeas, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, olives, feta, and herbs. If desired, add red pepper flakes and gently toss to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are coated. Be careful not to mash the chickpeas.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to enhance flavors. For best taste, chill overnight if possible.
- Before serving, gently stir the salad and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary. Garnish as desired and serve chilled.
