Chickpea Salad Recipe
A refreshing and nutritious chickpea salad packed with vibrant vegetables, creamy avocado, and a zesty dressing, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoon Lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
- 1 clove Garlic (pressed or minced)
- ½ teaspoon Sea salt (or to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 ½ cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 English cucumber (halved and sliced)
- 15 oz Chickpeas (drained, rinsed)
- ½ medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 Avocado (sliced)
- ¼ cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 4 oz Feta cheese (diced)
Instructions
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Mix together olive oil, lemon juice, pressed garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined, or shake them in a mason jar for convenience.
- In a large salad bowl, add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, feta cheese, and cilantro. Make sure each ingredient is evenly distributed for balanced flavors.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients, ensuring the flavors mix well without mashing the avocado.
Notes
- For even better flavor, let your salad rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Adjust the seasoning as needed and consider adding grilled chicken or quinoa for extra protein.
