Ingredients

Scale

1 (15 oz / 425 g) can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1 avocado, pitted & diced
4 oz / 115 g feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup / 75 g red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup / 50 g fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup / 25 g fresh mint, chopped
3 tbsp / 45 ml olive oil
2 tbsp / 30 ml lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp / 2.5 ml dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

In a spacious mixing bowl, bring together the chickpeas, creamy avocado cubes, crumbled feta, and the fresh brilliance of red onion slices. The chopped parsley and mint contribute the herbal aroma, transporting you into the heart of Mediterranean cuisine. Combine these elements gently to preserve the delicate textures of the components.
In a separate bowl or a jar with a secure lid, blend the olive oil, tangy lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add in the dried oregano, salt, and pepper, then whisk or shake the mixture vigorously until it transforms into a smooth and consistent dressing. This ensures that every spoonful carries the zestful union of flavors, elevating the salad’s profile.
Pour the freshly prepared dressing over the waiting salad. Toss the mixture gently; it’s essential to fold the dressing into the salad delicately to maintain the integrity of the avocado and feta while ensuring every ingredient is coated finely with the dressing. This is where the salad gets its vibrant taste, making each bite indulgent yet refreshing.
Once everything is mixed to satisfaction, the salad is ready to be served. If you find the flavors intensify with a chill, refrigerate it for a while before serving. Either way, relish in the freshness of this salad, whether straight away or chilled.
