  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

  1. Prepare Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, feta, avocado, and parsley.
  2. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
