With side of chef’s knife, bash cucumbers slightly to crush, halve lengthwise, then cut each into 4 to 6 chunks. Transfer cucumbers to bowl and toss with 2 tsp salt. Let sit 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and honey to dissolve. Whisk in oil, capers, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add onion, jalapeño, and chickpeas and toss to combine. Let sit at least 10 minutes.

Transfer cucumbers to colander and rinse, then shake off as much water as possible. Add to bowl with dressing, along with tomatoes and parsley, and toss to combine. Serve topped with feta if desired.
