Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing one can of chickpeas under cold water in a colander for about 30 seconds. Drain thoroughly to remove excess sodium.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas with one diced ripe avocado, 100 grams of crumbled feta cheese, and one thinly sliced red onion. Add chopped parsley and mint, and toss gently to mix.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
  5. Once combined, enjoy the salad immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour if you prefer it chilled.
