Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, diced red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and fresh parsley. Toss the ingredients lightly to mix them evenly.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper (and red pepper flakes if you're using them) until well emulsified and smooth.

      Combine: Pour the dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients with the dressing evenly.

        Marinate: For optimal flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the medley marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

          Serve: After marinating, give the medley another gentle toss and taste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey based on your preference. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
