- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas, kidney beans, and green beans. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the English cucumber into small bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely dice the red onion. Add these to the mixing bowl.
Slice the kalamata olives in halves or thirds if they are large and add them to the bowl.
Chop the parsley finely and crumble the feta cheese (if using). Set both aside for later.
In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake the dressing ingredients together until well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the bean and vegetable mixture. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and feta cheese (if using) on top. Toss lightly to incorporate.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
