👨‍🍳 Instrucțiuni

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure all vegetables are uniformly diced for even distribution.
2. 2

   Add the chopped fresh parsley, mint, and cilantro to the bowl.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Adjust quantities to your preference.
3. 3

   In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, cumin powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed before adding to the salad.
4. 4

   Pour the dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Start with a little less dressing and add more if needed, to avoid making the salad too soggy.
5. 5

   Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Be careful not to mash the chickpeas.
6. 6

   If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad just before serving.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Adding feta at the end prevents it from becoming mushy.
7. 7

   Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
