1 avocado, pitted and diced
4 ounces (115 g) feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup fresh mint, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced avocado, crumbled feta, red onion, parsley, and mint.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Prevent Browning: Toss the diced avocado with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
Herb Swaps: If fresh herbs aren’t available, use dried herbs—just reduce the amount by half.
Extra Crunch: Add cucumber, bell pepper, or toasted pine nuts for texture.
Make It a Meal: Serve with grilled chicken, shrimp, or warm pita bread.
Meal Prep Tip: Add the avocado just before serving for the freshest flavor.
