Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or avocado for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and corn. Toss them gently to mix.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine: Pour the dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.

        Add Fresh Herbs: Fold in the chopped parsley and cilantro, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the medley.

          Taste Test: Adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper according to your taste preference.

            Chill (optional): For best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. However, it's delicious right away as well!

              Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and optionally top with crumbled feta cheese or diced avocado for an extra touch of creaminess. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
