Begin by dicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, and chopping the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.

Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas, then add them to the mixing bowl with your diced vegetables.

In a separate small bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper.

Pour the freshly whisked dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.

For the best freshness, serve your Mediterranean Chickpea Salad immediately, or let it chill for about 30 minutes.
