Ingredients:

1 cup chickpeas
200g
2 avocados
400g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
2 tbsp onion
12g
1/4 cup feta cheese
36g
1 lime
70g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper

Instructions:

1. Mix Chickpeas and Avocado: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas and diced avocado. Gently toss to mix, being careful not to mash the avocado pieces.
2. Add Aromatics: Add the finely chopped coriander leaves and red onion to the bowl with the chickpeas and avocado.
3. Crumble Feta: Add the crumbled feta cheese to the mix.
4. Season: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salad. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Toss Salad: Gently toss everything together until well combined. Be gentle to prevent the avocado from becoming too mushy.

7. Optional: Garnish with additional coriander leaves or a lime wedge if desired.

Tips:

- For a more intense flavor, allow the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the ingredients meld together.

- If you prefer a bit of crunch, add some chopped cucumber or bell peppers.

- Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape in the salad.

- Feel free to add more coriander or substitute it with other fresh herbs like parsley or mint.

- For a vegan version, simply omit the feta cheese or replace it with a vegan alternative.
