Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (omit for a vegan version)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup mixed greens or fresh spinach

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, diced bell pepper, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese (if included), and chopped fresh parsley. Gently stir until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure that all the ingredients are well blended and the dressing is smooth.

      Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Gently toss the salad to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Allow the salad to rest for about 10-15 minutes to enable the flavors to meld beautifully.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay the whole wheat or spinach wraps flat on a clean, dry surface. Evenly spread a handful of mixed greens or fresh spinach across the center of each wrap.

          Fill the Wraps: Spoon a generous portion of the chickpea salad over the mixed greens on each wrap, ensuring a good balance of ingredients in each.

            Roll the Wraps: Begin folding the sides of the wrap over the filling to secure it. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the wrap upwards tightly to encase the filling. If needed, secure each wrap with a toothpick for easy handling.

              Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on a serving platter. Enjoy immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a delicious, on-the-go lunch option.
