- 1/2 cup olive oil

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To a bowl combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chickpeas, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt & pepper, mix until every bean is coated.
Step 2
Place chickpeas on a lined baking sheet, be sure to spread them out. Bake in the oven for 40 mins, until crispy. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
Step 3
In another bowl make your vinaigrette by combining olive oil and red wine together little by little, slowly whisking both ingredients together in order for them to emulsify without breaking your dressing. Add in mustard, mayo, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and oregano, mix until combined, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
In a bowl, add cucumbers and tomatoes, capers, chickpeas and pour in your dressing, mix and top with crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy!
