Description
A bright and creamy salad featuring nutty chickpeas, salty feta, rich avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crisp cucumber, dressed with a tangy lemon-olive oil dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas well. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion. Crumble the feta if it isn’t already crumbled.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper until the dressing is smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, diced avocado, halved tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, taking care not to mash the avocado. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve chilled or at room temperature. For best texture, add avocado just before serving.
