Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

I am loosely following the Mediterranean Diet (and really enjoying it, OBTW. "It is a fabulous way to eat, not just because it's nutritious and health-promoting, but because it simply tastes GOOD!!"). Saw this in the paper, and WILL make it tonight for my dinner.
(serves 2-4)

1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well, or 2 cups cooked chickpeas from dried
1/3 cup chopped or quartered Kalamata olives
1/4 cup chopped natural* almonds
2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. EVOO
1 small garlic clove, minced or pressed
Kosher* salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Place first 5 ingredients in a med. bowl. Toss gently to combine. Add lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic to bowl, toss again to coat. Taste and add S&P as needed. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. Can be served chilled or at room temp.

Worship the Lord, Oh My Soul - today and every day!!!

Lots of Love,
