Chickpea, Avocado & Feta Salad

Avocados are one of my favourites. I am always looking for recipes that include them. While I was in Palm Springs my friend Danny introduced me to this recipe from the blog Two Peas and their Pod. They have some interesting salad recipes. I will certainly be giving them a try as the weather hopefully warms up

This recipe involves no cooking so I think you might say that I assembled it. It was so easy. We served it as part of a buffet for a party. It claims that it only need 5 minutes to make this healthy salad! It took me a little bit longer. 

SERVES 4

prep time: 5 MINUTES

total time: 5 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 avocados, pitted, and chopped
1/3 cup chopped cilantro (Coriander)
2 tablespoons green onion (Spring onion)
1/3 cup feta cheese
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, combine chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, green onion, feta cheese, and lime juice. Stir until mixed well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Voila - it's that easy. Looks impressive and tastes delicious. I thought that adding cherry tomatoes sliced in half would add some colour and some vitamin C.
