Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¾ teaspoon salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse 1 can chickpeas, then stir them into the dressing. Let them soak up the flavors while you prep the veggies.Tip: warm the chickpeas in the microwave for 30 seconds before adding them—the heat helps them absorb the marinade even better.
Add Veggies: To a large bowl, add 2 cups cucumber (diced), 1½ cups cherry tomatoes (halved), ½ cup Kalamata olives (halved), ⅓ cup shallot (chopped), ¾ cup corn, and ⅓ cup parsley (chopped). Pour marinated chickpeas and dressing over veggies. Mix well.
Finish & Serve: Fold in 1 avocado and 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese(if using). Serve immediately or chill before serving.
