Ingredients
  

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

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, diced into small cubes

1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for a creamy touch)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat wraps or pita bread

Optional toppings: slices of avocado, hummus, or tzatziki sauce for added creaminess

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and finely chopped fresh parsley.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well-mixed.

      Drizzle the dressing over the chickpea mixture and gently toss with a spatula or spoon until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

        Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate it for at least an hour to let the flavors meld and intensify.

          When you’re ready to assemble the wraps, lay your whole wheat wraps or pita bread on a clean, flat surface.

            Spoon generous portions of the Mediterranean chickpea salad into the center of each wrap, spreading it evenly.

              If desired, add optional toppings like avocado slices or a dollop of hummus or tzatziki sauce for additional flavor and creaminess.

                Fold the sides of the wrap inwards to secure the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards to form a secure wrap.

                  For easier eating, slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately, or enjoy them packed for a healthy lunch option!
