Ingredients
For the Salad:
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup cucumber, diced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup Kalamata olives, halved
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dressing:
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, feta, oregano, salt, and pepper until creamy and well blended. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpeas, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and parsley.
3. Add the Dressing:
Pour the lemon feta dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
