Chick Pea Salad Recipe - Fresh & Flavorful South American Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
5
  • 1 cup chickpeas, cooked (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced (preferably English cucumber)
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced (cherry or grape tomatoes work well)
  • 1 cup red onion, finely chopped (to taste)
  • 1 cup parsley, chopped (fresh parsley for garnish)
  • 1 medium avocado, diced (ripe but firm)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by rinsing and draining the chickpeas. Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado, and finely chop the red onion and parsley.

    Using fresh ingredients enhances the flavor.
  2. Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and avocado.

    Gently toss to avoid mashing the avocado.
  3. Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Adjust lemon juice based on your acidity preference.
  4. Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.

    Do this just before serving for best texture.
  5. Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately or chill for about 30 minutes for flavors to meld.

    Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
