For the Salad

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine one can each of rinsed chickpeas and black beans. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium, then transfer to the bowl.

  3. Pour the dressing over the beans and gently toss with a spatula or wooden spoon until coated.
  4. Add the sliced red onion, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley. Gently fold in to maintain texture.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer, to allow flavors to meld.
