Description

This Creamy Chickpea Avocado Feta Salad is not just another bowl of greens; it’s a cheerful celebration of flavors and textures that is sure to impress everyone at the table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium avocados, cut into large chunks
  • 1/2 cup thin sliced red onion
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley (or cilantro)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice (fresh is best)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing the chickpeas under cold water in a colander. This step is essential to remove any excess sodium if you’re using canned chickpeas. Once rinsed, allow them to drain thoroughly to prevent any excess moisture from making your salad soggy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese. These ingredients will create the flavorful base of your salad. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently combine everything, being careful not to mash the chickpeas.
  3. In a separate small bowl or a cup, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Using a whisk or fork, mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well-blended. This dressing brings together the flavors of the salad and adds a delicious zesty touch.
  4. Pour the freshly whisked dressing over the salad base in the large bowl. Toss everything gently with a spatula or large spoon to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly. Take your time with this step to not break down the chickpeas or feta.
  5. The last step is to fold in the avocado chunks. This should be done very gently; you want the avocado to remain as chunks rather than mashing into the mix. Taste your salad, and if needed, add an additional pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon to enhance the flavor. Your Creamy Chickpea Avocado Feta Salad is now ready to serve!

Notes

For best results, use ripe avocados — they should yield slightly when pressed.
