Avocado Chickpea Salad

Print Recipe

A fresh and creamy salad combining ripe avocado with protein-packed chickpeas, tossed in a zesty lemon-herb dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (or parsley), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper.
  2. Add chickpeas, red onion and cherry tomatoes; toss gently to coat.
  3. Carefully fold in diced avocado and chopped cilantro.
  4. Adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper or lemon juice as desired.
  5. Serve immediately or chill 15–30 minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Make ahead: prepare chickpea mixture and dressing, then add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Variations: swap cilantro for fresh parsley or basil.
  • For extra zip, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
