4. Add cucumber, tomato, chickpeas, onion and feta cheese (I didn't have any onion which is why it's not seen in the picture but it really does add a lot to the salad. And the chickpeas were frozen which is why they look like that). Mix.

6. Pour over salad and mix. Cover and chill in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Serves ... a lot. This will make enough for us to eat with dinner one night and then in our lunches for a few days. It is a really nice summer salad to serve with any grilled dish or on its own.
