Salad Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber, sliced into half moons (roughly 4 cups)
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, drained and rinsed chickpeas, and the chopped parsley, dill, and mint.
- Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, finely minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.
- Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss using a spoon to ensure everything is evenly coated without mashing the avocado.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
Notes
- For best texture, prepare the salad just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning.
- You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh are unavailable, but reduce quantities accordingly.
- Feel free to add a handful of cherry tomatoes or cucumber seeds removed for added freshness.
- This salad can be served on its own or paired perfectly with grilled meats or pita bread.
