Ingredients

1 cooked chickpeas drained liquid discarded (good quality canned are fine)
2 beefy tomatoes cut into a half-inch dice
1 large cucumber cut in half lengthwise and then into thin half-moon slices
1 medium red or yellow onion sliced thinly
5 oz /150g soft feta cheese broken up in small bite-sized pieces
5 Tbsp Greek extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
Chopped parsley for serving
Sesame seeds for serving

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and keep in the fridge for an hour before serving. The idea is to let all the flavors meld and for the chickpeas to absorb as much of the flavor of the vegetables and feta as possible.
