Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 English cucumber
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables

  • In a large bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped fresh parsley.

Whisk the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Combine and Toss

  • Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Taste and Adjust

  • Taste the salad and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.

Serve

  • Enjoy immediately or chill briefly to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the vegetables and the creamy avocado. For meal prep, store the dressing separately and combine just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning and the salad from getting soggy.
