Chickpeas make this filling enough to be lunch rather than a side. The dressing is only lemon, oil and oregano, so the feta does the seasoning — which is why the salt goes in at the end, if at all.

Cut the cucumber into thick half-moons, halve the tomatoes and slice the red onion thinly.

Serving suggestion
Add a tin of tuna or a grilled chicken breast to push the protein up.
Storage
Dressed, it keeps a day. Undressed, the cut vegetables keep two — mix in the dressing when you serve.
Notes
Any firm white cheese works if feta is too salty for you.
