  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Cutting board & knife
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, avocado, feta, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and herbs.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  3. Pour dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored up to 24 hours (avocado may darken slightly).
Use ripe but firm avocados to keep the salad from becoming mushy.
