Ingredients
– 15 ounces chickpeas, rinsed and drained
– 2 ripe avocados, pitted and chopped
– 1/3 cup chopped cilantro (can substitute with basil or parsley)
– 2 tablespoons green onion (red onion can also be used)
– 1/3 cup feta cheese
– Juice of 1 lime (lemon juice can be substituted)
– Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First, gather all your ingredients and rinse the chickpeas under cold water to wash away any extra salt. This keeps the salad light and lets the natural tastes shine through.
2-Next, dice the ripe avocados and toss them with a bit of lime juice right away to keep them from browning too fast.
3-Then, finely chop the cilantro and green onion to add that fresh kick. Combine everything in a bowl, gently stirring in the feta cheese so it blends without getting mushy.
4-Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper, and give it a quick mix.
5-For the best results, let it sit for a few minutes before serving, or enjoy it right away as a cool snack. Remember, you can make it vegan by skipping the feta, which keeps the dish just as tasty and versatile for different preferences.
