Prepare all ingredients before assembling the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the garbanzo beans, sliced cucumbers, chopped olives, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and Italian-style salad dressing, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese, garlic salt, and ground black pepper. Toss the salad gently until everything is well mixed and the dressing has coated every ingredient.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill completely. When ready to serve, give it a light toss and enjoy this refreshing, protein-packed salad that’s crisp, tangy, and full of Mediterranean-inspired flavor.
