Description
A flavorful and nutritious Chickpea Feta Avocado Salad packed with fresh ingredients and vibrant tastes, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large Fresh Avocado, diced
- ½ cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
- ¼ cup Red Onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Juice from 1 large Lemon
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep your veggies: Start by washing all your fresh produce. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half (or quarters if they’re large) and dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Get those chickpeas ready: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas. You can lightly mash a portion of the chickpeas with a fork if you like a creamier salad.
- Toss in your veggies: Add in the avocado, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Be gentle with the avocado to keep it intact.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the heap of fresh ingredients.
- Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Combine everything: Drizzle the dressing over your salad and gently toss until well combined.
- Taste and adjust: Taste your salad and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Let it chill: If you have time, let the salad sit for about 20-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Enjoy it as a refreshing standalone dish or as a side to grilled chicken, fish, or hearty grains like quinoa. You can prepare the veggies and chickpeas ahead of time but add the avocado just before serving.
