Ingredient Breakdown

Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need for this Chickpea Feta Avocado Salad:

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed: Chickpeas are a fantastic base for this salad. They add protein and fiber, making this dish filling and hearty.
1 avocado, pitted and diced: This creamy fruit brings a wonderful texture and richness. Make sure it’s ripe, so it’s nice and soft, that’s key!
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled: Feta adds a salty bite that complements the creaminess of the avocado. Trust me; it takes the salad to the next level!
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced: I love using red onion for its slight sweetness and vibrant color. If you’re not a fan, you could easily swap it for green onions.
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped: Parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous note. It’s great for cleansing the palate!
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped: Mint is my secret weapon here! It brightens the salad up and adds a refreshing twist.
3 tablespoons olive oil: A light drizzle of good quality olive oil helps bring all the flavors together.
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed: Nothing beats fresh lemon juice for that added zing!
1 clove garlic, minced: Garlic adds an aromatic depth that makes every bite delightful.
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano: A touch of oregano enhances the salad’s Mediterranean vibe.
Salt and pepper to taste: A couple pinches of each will tie all the flavors together perfectly.
