Whip Up That Dressing: First things first, grab a small bowl for your dressing. Pour in the olive oil, squeeze in that fresh lemon juice, add the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper. Now, whisk it all together until it's nicely combined. Give it a little taste – does it need a touch more salt or lemon? Set this zesty liquid gold aside for a moment.
Prep the Veggies & Chickpeas: Time for the good stuff! In a medium bowl, toss in your drained and rinsed chickpeas. Add the finely chopped red onion, the cool diced cucumber, the sweet diced red bell pepper, and the fresh chopped parsley. If you're using feta, sprinkle that in now too. Look at all those beautiful colors!
Combine Forces: Now for the magic! Pour the lemon dressing you just made all over the chickpea and veggie mixture. Grab a spoon and gently stir everything together. Make sure every chickpea and every veggie bit gets coated in that delicious, zesty dressing. Give it another little taste now – perfection!
Wrap It Up!: You're almost there! Lay out your large lettuce leaves (like romaine or butter lettuce work great) or your whole wheat wraps. Divide the chickpea salad mixture evenly among them. Now, carefully fold or roll them up into your wraps. If you're using lettuce, sometimes folding like a taco or just piling the salad on is easiest!
