This healthy Chickpea, Avocado, & Feta Salad only takes 5 minutes 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.
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. Five minutes is all you need to make this healthy salad! It is perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or healthy snack! And it’s a good recipe to serve at parties because it is so easy…and everyone will want the recipe!
If you’ve made my favorite sandwich then you know I don’t use feta, but I decided to add it to the salad for color and a kick of flavor. If you need the recipe to be vegan, you can leave it out, but I loved it! I might have to add a little to my sandwich next time:)
This is a great recipe to have on hand for when you are not in the mood to cook, but still want something delicious and healthy to eat!
The next time you don’t know what to make for lunch or dinner…or think you don’t have time to make a healthy meal, remember my Chickpea, Avocado, and Feta Salad. Everyone has 5 minutes. No excuses:)

Love this fresh & refreshing salad for a summer afternoon!
This salad is super easy and very tasty. I made it in the morning – 5 min – and I’ll eat it for a quick lunch. 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! Definitely on my permanent menu! 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. 🙂
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!
