Now that the weather is warming up, this delicious chickpea, tomato and avocado salad is an ideal meal to have any time of the day. I had it for dinner on Thursday night and had it again for lunch at work the next day. I used fresh ingredients like tomato, onion, parsley and avocado. They are full packed of vitamins and minerals that are good for our body. Furthermore, I added my favorite bean, chickpea as the main protein for this salad. The dressing that binds all the ingredients together consists simply of extra virgin oil, lemon juice and minced garlic. The lemon juice adds tanginess to salad and also prevents the avocado from discoloring. This salad is creamy, in a good way, because of the avocado but a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese makes it even creamier and tastier. Enjoy!
- 1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 15 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 small avocadoes, peeled, pitted and cubed
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chickpea, tomatoes, red onion and parsley.
- Add avocado; toss gently. Serve with a sprinkle of feta cheese over the top.
- Enjoy!

Hi! Is one serving approximately one cup of the salad?

Hi Valerie,
One serving is the whole recipe divided by 4. Hope this helps!

I brought this to a family get-together and it was a big hit. I have brought tabouli in the past, but with a few gluten intolerant people to consider, this was a great alternative. I will be making it again!

Is the nutrition information for the entire recipe? Or 1 serving? The numbers seem high!

Hi Dana, Thanks for pointing that out. The nutrition information I had before was not correct. It’s fixed now!
