A vibrant mix of fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, briny feta, and hearty chickpeas creates a quick side dish that’s ready in minutes. This salad is bright, simple, and naturally full of protein.
15 oz chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
4 oz feta cheese, diced
Instructions
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can also combine everything in a small jar and shake until blended.
Assemble the salad: Place the tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, red onion, avocado, cilantro, and feta into a large serving bowl.
Finish and serve: Pour the dressing over the salad (using as much as you like—this batch works well in full). Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
