Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint. Mix gently to avoid mushing the avocado.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until well coated, making sure not to pulverize the avocado.
  4. Serve immediately or chill for later. If chilled, add avocado just before serving for optimal appearance.

Notes

  1. Do not overmix the avocado. This salad is versatile; feel free to add your favorite extras like olives or cherry tomatoes.
