Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water and allow them to drain completely.
  2. Dice the avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion thinly, and dice the cucumber.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine chickpeas, avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Add the chopped parsley and gently mix.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly coated.
  7. Add Kalamata olives and toasted pine nuts, if using, for extra flavor and crunch.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

For added crunch, roast the chickpeas before mixing. Always add the dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess. Ripe but firm avocados work best.
