Chickpea Feta Avocado Salad is a refreshing, protein-packed salad featuring creamy avocado, salty feta, and crisp veggies, all tossed in a lemony olive oil dressing. It’s quick to prepare, naturally vegetarian, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper or dash of cumin

Instructions

  1. Prep all vegetables and rinse chickpeas. Dice avocado last to prevent browning.

  3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or spices.
  4. Gently fold in diced avocado and chopped herbs.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add baby spinach or arugula for a leafy variation.
  • Mix in cooked grains like quinoa or farro for extra heartiness.
  • Swap feta for goat cheese or vegan crumbles as needed.
  • Spice it up with jalapeños or harissa.
  • Top with sunflower seeds or pine nuts for crunch.
