Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, thoroughly rinsed and drained

1 cup cucumber, finely diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, minced

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced into rounds

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled into small pieces

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped (optional but recommended for extra flavor)

Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup baby spinach or a mix of greens for assembly

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and optional mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

      Combine: Drizzle the dressing over the chickpea mixture. Using a spatula, gently toss the ingredients until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.

        Chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and enhances the taste.

          Assemble the Wraps: On a clean, flat surface, lay out one large wrap. Place a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens in the center of the wrap, followed by a generous scoop of the chilled chickpea salad mixture.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll from the bottom up to encase the filling securely. Ensure that it is wrapped tightly to prevent any spillage. Repeat this process with the remaining wraps and chickpea mixture.

              Slice and Serve: For an elegant presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap each in foil for a portable meal option. Enjoy the refreshing, flavor-packed Cold Greek Chickpea Salad Wraps!
