Instructions
- To give the flavors time to meld, first make the dressing. In a small bowl combine the juice from one large lemon with olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh minced/pressed garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk well and set aside.
- Drain and rinse chickpeas and add to a medium-large bowl.
- Chop peppers, tomato, cucumber, onion, and parsley. Add to bowl with chickpeas and mix well.
- Whisk dressing once more and pour over salad. Stir well and top with crumbled feta and optional fresh dill.
- Feel free to adjust salt and pepper to taste, if desired. The longer this salad sits the more the flavors intensify so feel free to let it marinate a bit before diving in. This scrumptious salad can be enjoyed room temperature or chilled before serving - it's great both ways!
