Ingredients

1 can chickpeas (15 oz can, rinsed and drained)
1 English cucumber (medium, diced)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
0.5 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
4 ounce feta cheese (cubed)
0.75 cup hummus
3 whole wheat pitas (cut into wedges)
2 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine 1 can drained chickpeas, 1 diced cucumber, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup Kalamata olives.
Drizzle the chickpea and vegetable mixture with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then toss well to coat.
Divide the dressed chickpea salad evenly among 3 bento containers.
Portion 1/4 cup hummus, 4 ounces cubed feta cheese, and 1 cut whole wheat pita into separate compartments in each bento box for packing.

Notes

Keep pita wedges in a small zip bag inside the bento to prevent them from absorbing moisture from the salad.
