This is a fresh salad with crunchy veggies, creamy avocado, and protein-rich chickpeas. It's mixed with tangy feta cheese and a zesty lemon dressing. It's a colorful dish that's perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

1 (4 oz) package crumbled feta cheese
1 English cucumber, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 avocado, diced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
2
Add the thinly sliced red onion to the dressing and stir to coat. Let it sit for 5 minutes to marinate and soften the onion's flavor.
3
Wash and dry the cucumber, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Dice them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing and onion.
4
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to the salad.
5
Halve the Kalamata olives and dice the avocado. Gently fold these into the salad to avoid mashing the avocado.
6
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and give it a final gentle mix.
7
Divide the salad into serving bowls and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
