Ingredients 

For the Salad

  • 1 can chickpeas 15-ounce, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado large, pitted and diced
  • 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint chopped

For the Lemon Herb Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin recommended
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and starchy liquid.
  • Combine the rinsed chickpeas, freshly diced avocado, crumbled feta, sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and mint in a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the lemon-herb dressing by whisking together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano in a small bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until just combined, being careful not to mash the avocado. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Small Bowl or Jar

Notes

For the best results, use a ripe but firm avocado to prevent it from getting mushy. Tossing the diced avocado in a little extra lemon juice can also help prevent browning if you're not serving the salad immediately.
