Fresh Chickpea Salad

• Half a red onion
• half a cucumber
• half a packet of feta
• half a punnet cherry tomatoes, quartered
• sliced olives
• 2 tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• basil
• salt and pepper
• dressing (if desired):
• juice of one lemon
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon honey

Chop all salad ingredients and combine in a large bowl.

this salad is nice without the dressing, but if you feel like adding a bit of zing to it, combine dressing ingredients in a small airtight container or screwtop jar and shake to mix, then pour over salad and mix.
