Ingredients

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. Combine salad ingredients. In a large bowl, add the drained chickpeas, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint. Mix gently to mix the components without mashing the avocado.
  2. Prepare 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 taste preferences.
  3. Toss salad with dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing, ensuring a consistent flavor distribution.
  4. Serve or chill. Serve the salad immediately for fresh texture and flavor, or cover and chill in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld and serve it later.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative or omit it entirely.
  • Make sure to gently toss to avoid mashing the avocado pieces.
  • This salad is best eaten fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • Add a handful of toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch if desired.
