A refreshing, hearty, and flavorful bowl of chickpeas, avocado, fresh vegetables, herbs, and a bright lemon-herb dressing.
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup cucumber, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
½ cup crumbled feta-style cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Combine chickpeas, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and mint in a large bowl.
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently.
Fold in crumbled feta-style cheese last.
Adjust seasoning if needed. Chill 10–15 minutes if desired.
Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
Can omit or replace feta-style cheese with plant-based alternatives.
Salad can be prepped in advance by storing chickpeas and vegetables separately.
