Instructions

Mix olive oil, lemon juice and oregano in a bowl, season generously with salt and pepper.

Wash the vegetables, dice the cucumber, and halve or quarter the tomatoes depending on their size. Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings. Drain the chickpeas in a colander, rinse thoroughly, and let them drain well.

Divide the dressing between both glasses. Evenly distribute the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion rings between the two glasses. Layer half of the chickpeas on top of the cucumber and tomatoes in each glass. Crumble the feta cheese roughly with your fingers and distribute it between the two glasses.

Seal the jars and store them (upright) in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Strategic Layering Order 🥒
Place dressing at the bottom, then sturdy vegetables (cucumber, tomatoes), chickpeas in the middle, and delicate feta on top to prevent sogginess and maintain texture for up to four days.
Dry Your Vegetables Thoroughly 💧
Pat all chopped vegetables with paper towels before jarring to remove excess moisture, which prevents diluted dressing and extends freshness significantly.
Make Infused Oregano Oil 🌿
Toast dried oregano gently in olive oil for 30 seconds before mixing with lemon juice to unlock deeper, more authentic Mediterranean flavors that permeate the entire salad.
Salt Cucumbers & Tomatoes Pre-Jar 🧂
Lightly season these vegetables 10 minutes before jarring to allow osmosis to draw out excess water while enhancing their natural sweetness without making the salad watery.
Keep Feta Separate Until Serving 🧀
Store feta in a small container alongside the jar and add it just before eating to preserve its creamy texture and prevent it from absorbing excess moisture or becoming overly salty.
