Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce/425g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado, pitted and diced
  • 4 ounces/115g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup/75g red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup/50g fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup/25g fresh mint, chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons/45ml olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons/30ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon/2.5ml dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint, ensuring all ingredients are distributed evenly.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  3. Toss the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated with the dressing, taking care not to mash the avocado.
  4. Serve: Serve the salad immediately for best freshness and texture, or chill in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld and serve later.

Notes

  • For added crunch, consider adding toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
  • The salad is best consumed fresh as avocado can brown over time.
  • Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste, depending on your preference for tanginess and seasoning.
  • To make it vegan, replace the feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
