Instructions
Creating your Chickpea Feta Avocado Salad is both simple and satisfying. Follow these easy steps to assemble this wonderful dish:
1. Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by washing all your fresh ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.
2. Rinse the Chickpeas: In a colander, rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium.
3. Dice the Avocado: Carefully slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice it while still in the skin. Use a spoon to scoop the cubes into a serving bowl.
4. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.
5. Add the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and gently mix everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
6. Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
7. Toss Gently: Using a spatula, gently toss the salad to combine the flavors without breaking up the avocado.
8. Chill (Optional): For best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
9. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
10. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls, drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired, and enjoy!
