  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the drained chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix gently to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking until the dressing is well emulsified and combined.
  3. Pour the freshly whisked dressing over the chickpea mixture. Toss everything together gently, making sure all ingredients are coated in the zesty dressing.
