Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced Use a ripe but firm avocado.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese Can use vegan feta for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste Add more lemon to taste.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste Adjust to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then place them in a large bowl.
  2. Chop the avocado, tomatoes, onion, and cucumber into bite-size pieces. Add to the bowl with chickpeas.
  3. Add the crumbled feta and chopped herbs.
  4. In a small cup, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently, so the avocado does not mash.
  6. Taste and add more lemon, salt, or pepper if needed. Serve right away or chill for 15 minutes for cooler flavor.

Notes

Chop ingredients to similar size for even bites. Add herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil for fresh taste. If making ahead, add avocado just before serving to avoid browning.
