Chickpeas and Feta Cheese

  • Open the can(s) of chickpeas with a can opener.
  • Drain them and add the drained chickpeas to the bowl of chopped veggies.

  • Toss or stir the salad to mix the ingredients evenly in the bowl.

Dressing

  • Combine the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar into a glass bowl.
