Ingredients
Salad
- 1 (15-ounce/425g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, pitted and diced
- 4 ounces/115g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup/75g red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup/50g fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup/25g fresh mint, chopped
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons/45ml olive oil
- 2 tablespoons/30ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon/2.5ml dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Toss the salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything until the salad is well coated with the dressing, ensuring even flavor distribution without mashing the avocado.
- Serve or chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste or chill it in the refrigerator to meld the flavors before serving.
Notes
- For best texture, add the avocado last and toss gently to avoid mashing.
- This salad is ideal for a quick lunch or as a side for grilled meats or vegetables.
- Chilling the salad for 30 minutes enhances flavors but can be served right away.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the dressing to maximize brightness and flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to the saltiness of the feta cheese used.
