A vibrant and satisfying salad that comes together in minutes. Creamy avocado, salty feta, and hearty chickpeas are tossed in a zesty lemon-herb dressing for a fresh and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained well
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced or grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese.
  3. Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the chickpea mixture. Gently toss to coat and let marinate for 5 minutes.
  4. Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped fresh herbs.
  5. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, give one final gentle toss, and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Add the avocado last to prevent it from becoming mushy. For a vegan version, use a dairy-free feta alternative. Soak chopped red onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow its sharp flavor.
