Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 medium cucumber, chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Use a fork to mash about half of them, leaving the rest whole for texture.

    Add the Veggies: Incorporate the diced avocado, chopped cucumber, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes into the bowl with the chickpeas.

      Flavor it Up: Sprinkle the fresh parsley, and feta cheese (if using) into the mix. It adds a lovely saltiness and creaminess.

        Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad.

          Toss and Serve: Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

            Garnish: Before serving, give it a final sprinkle of fresh parsley and an extra dash of olive oil if desired.
