This healthy Chickpea, Avocado, & Feta Salad only takes 10 minutes tops to make. It’s perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or snack!
Remember my Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad Sandwich? If you’ve tried it, you know what I am talking about. It is pretty much the best sandwich ever. I eat it all of the time. If you haven’t tried it, you are missing out. Add it to your must make list right now.
The other day, I was going to make my favorite sandwich for lunch, but I was in a rush, so I decided to throw together a quick salad using the same ingredients. My favorite sandwich turned into my new favorite salad. This Chickpea, Avocado, and Feta Salad is good stuff.
Simple Salad
You could probably make this salad with your eyes closed. Please don’t try it though since you have to use a knife to chop up the avocado. I don’t want any of you to end up with a finger in your salad or a trip to the ER. It is super duper easy! Probably the easiest and tastiest salad I’ve ever made.
All you have to do is combine chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, green onion, feta cheese, and a little lime juice. That is it. Ten minutes is all you need to make this healthy salad!
If you need the salad to be vegan, you can leave out the feta cheese, it will still be tasty!

Love this fresh & refreshing salad for a summer afternoon!
This salad is super easy and very tasty. Â I made it in the morning – 5 min – and I’ll eat it for a quick lunch. Â Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious!
This is a recipe we use regularly. It is in truth, one of our top 5 favorites. It’s light on the stomach but satisfying. Delicious is an understatement. We appreciate you for creating and sharing it. Thank you.
Absolutely delicious and simple recipe! Thank you
Absolutely delish! Â Definitely on my permanent menu! Â Love two peas!
Happy to hear you loved it!
I made this salad for dinner its such a easy dish to make.
I enjoyed the flavour and how healthy and light it tasted.
How do you keep the avocado fresh (and fresh looking) for a few days if making this ahead of when u want to eat it or should I just not care that it’s gone brown?
Sam, If you’re still reading the comments, I learned to put my avocados in the fridge after they ripen and they keep for at least a week. Ina Garten taught me that. 🙂
I use avocado in my weekly salads and I only put avocado in the one I’m taking that night, so I cut a small portion off and wrap the remaining avocado with Saran Wrap tightly with pit remaining in. Just wrap really tight so no air gets in and only use for one day at a time. I just know when it turns brown it really tastes bad
Looks delicious! Can you use something else instead of cilantro? My husband doesn’t like that
Basil would be good too!
I love salads. And this looks healthy and delicious. Can’t wait to try!
5 Star! I added English cucumber and extra lime. It was so easy to make and very light and delicious. Thanks for the great recipe!
This recipe looks so delicious and easy to make! I plan on making it tonight as a bbq side dish.
I made this tonight and it was awesome! This will be a regular. I have to add, tho, drain chickpea juice into a bowl and whip it like you do whipping cream. It will take about 15 minutes but you add sugar and vanilla and it tastes just like whipped cream – not chick peas! Delicious!
This salad is looking so good.
It really looks divine. Thank you for such an amazing recipe.
Love the flavors, simplicity,and ease, however took off a star as I really miss something crunchy in there. The second day I added it to a Trader Joe’s bag of chopped Southwestern salad and the cabbage, pepita’s, and tortilla strips added the missing crunch very nicely. If I made it again I would experiment with celery, bell peppers, or something else to give it crunch.
Wow! I’m from the Philippines and I found out this on your website. I will add this to my recipes for my family. It’s very easy to make that’s why I love it.
Is it good the next day? It looks delicious!
I always eat the leftovers the next day. The avocado may brown a little but the lime juice helps!
This is so pretty and healthy! I love it!
What size can of chickpeas,please?
15 oz
I just made double batch of this and it is amazing!! My whole family likes it,too! A healthy and refreshing salad!
This recipe is great and super easy! I didn’t have two avocados so I used one and added a half of a cucumber diced up… Would highly recommend!
Love that! Thanks for sharing!
I shred a carrot in it — and put a handful or so of frozen peas … thawed …
works out well …
if i dont have the green onion i put finely chopped vidalia or maya sweet
love this stuff
This packed a lot of flavor for the low amount of effort it required.
I loved this recipe! I saw it on pinterest a couple days ago and thought it looked interesting. Today when dinnertime rolled around it was 106 degrees outside. I didn’t want to cook anything so I looked it up. I’m so glad I did. I didn’t have cilantro so I used dill. That inspired me to add cucumber for crunch. I served it over baby greens and it was wonderful.
So many pop-ups. Even in different browsers. Impossible to get the recipe.
Just made this (8-2-2020) – well fairly close to the recipe. Subbed goat cheese in and lemon juice (Didn’t have Feta or limes at home). “Forced” my son and wife to try it. LOL – “I didn’t get enough of a taste,” said my wife … “I’m home for dinner,” stated my son. Really great tasting. THANK YOU!!!
Absolutely delicious! I spooned it onto blue corn tortilla chips. I might add a bit of red pepper flakes next time? Or perhaps some extra lime (just because I love the taste of lime.)
So refreshingly delicious !!
Yum! First day trying to eat healthy again. This was super yummy! I added lots of cucumber to make it a whole meal. I might have it for lunch again tomorrow 🙂
I made this. It was easy, and absolutely delicious. I added some fresh chopped mango.
For the nutritional info for this recipe, is it for the entire recipe or for a serving? How much is a serving?
I couldn’t quite get my mind wrapped around this ingredient combo. But I am so glad I tried this! So easy, didn’t measure, threw it in a bowl and perfection! Trying hard to save some for tomorrow’s lunch. Thank you!
tried this, tasted amazing. it was light, easy to make and my son loved it as well.
WOW, this recipe just absolutely blew me away! I made it exactly per the recipe and would not change a single thing. The only hard thing will be not eating it all at once! Absolutely delicious.
My favorite too:)
I just made this for myself for the second week in a row and can’t wait to have it for daily lunches. It is absolutely perfect, just as written in the recipe. The flavors are so beautiful together and I look forward to eating it! I love it plain but for lunch it’s also fabulous on a piece of toast. Great recipe!
