Ingredients
  

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

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved for a burst of flavor

1 cucumber, diced into refreshing cubes

1/2 red onion, finely chopped to add a kick

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced for a savory touch

1/4 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional, but recommended)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for a hint of herbaceousness

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for brightness

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for richness

1 teaspoon dried oregano for a Mediterranean essence

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for depth of flavor

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat wraps or pita bread

Optional toppings: Tahini sauce or tzatziki for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, and crumbled Feta cheese (if you choose to include it). Gently fold the ingredients together for an even distribution.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, along with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.

      Combine the Salad and Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the chickpea salad mixture. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top. Gently toss everything together using a spatula, ensuring that each ingredient is evenly coated with the dressing.

        Warm the Wraps: If desired, heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the whole wheat wraps or pita bread for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are warm and pliable, making them easier to fold.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a warm wrap and lay a generous portion of the Mediterranean chickpea salad in the center. If desired, drizzle with tahini sauce or tzatziki for an extra creamy touch. Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely.

            Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side for an added zing whenever desired.
