One sunny afternoon, I threw together this Chickpea Avocado Salad with what I had in the pantry—and it turned out to be a hit! Creamy avocado, hearty chickpeas, crisp veggies, and a zesty lemon dressing make this salad a go-to for light lunches or easy sides. It’s colorful, nourishing, and ready in minutes. If you’re looking for a feel-good dish that’s as easy as it is delicious, this is the one.
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 ripe avocado, diced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
¼ cup cucumber, diced
2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
In a large bowl, combine chickpeas, avocado, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and herbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately or chill for 15–20 minutes for deeper flavor.
