Ingredients

• 2 15oz cans chickpeas
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

1. Drain the chickpeas, transfer to a strainer, then rinse under cool running water until the water runs clean from the strainer.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas with the lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, and salt. Stir to combine. Cover the bowl and transfer to the fridge. Marinate at least 15 minutes and up to an hour.
3. While the chickpeas marinate, dice the vegetables and chop the fresh herbs.
4. Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, onion, mint, and parsley to the marinated chickpeas and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed until the flavor pops. 
5. Serve immediately with fresh pita. If time permits, chill for 30 minutes, then serve. Store leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
