  • Total Time: 15 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 (540mL/19oz) can no salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion
  • 1/3 cup parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Juice of one lemon (about 4 tbsp lemon juice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, diced avocados, chopped green onion, finely chopped parsley or cilantro, crumbled feta cheese, and freshly squeezed lemon juice into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado too much to maintain a nice texture.
  3. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference, mixing lightly to incorporate the seasoning evenly throughout the salad.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest flavor or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to three days to enjoy later. Give it a gentle stir before serving if stored.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • To keep the salad fresh and prevent the avocado from browning, squeeze additional lemon juice if needed before serving.
  • This salad is great as a filling for wraps, a topping for toast, or served with crackers for a light snack.
  • Adjust the amount of feta cheese to your liking or substitute with a vegan cheese option for a dairy-free version.
  • Store in an airtight container and consume within three days for optimal freshness.
