Chickpea Salad Recipe
Chickpea Salad is loaded with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado and feta cheese. The fresh lemon dressing adds the Mediterranean flavors of classic Greek Salad.
Chickpea salad is easy to make and comes together fast. It’s perfect for lunch since chickpeas are protein packed and leave you feeling satisfied for hours. We also love to serve garbanzo bean salad with roasted red potatoes and pork tenderloin for dinner.

Chickpea Salad or Garbanzo Bean Salad?
Chickpeas are the same thing as garbanzo beans and can be used interchangeably in this recipe. They are known as chickpeas in the US and Garbanzo beans in Europe.
What are chickpeas? Chickpeas are peach colored round legumes or seed pods and part of the pea family. They have a satisfying nutty flavor. Use canned drained chickpeas or cook your own.
Are Chickpeas good for you?
Chickpeas are a very healthy food and are a perfect way to add plant based protein to salad.
- Chickpeas add great protein and fiber to this salad.
- They are also rich in iron, zinc, phosphorus and B vitamins.
- Experts say chickpeas may help with weight loss*
- Chickpeas help with blood sugar control,* (the starch in chickpeas is digested slowly resulting in stabilized sugar levels).
What is a Good Cilantro Substitute?
Cilantro (coriander) has fresh, vibrant and distinctive flavor and you either love it or you don’t. If you don’t enjoy the flavor of cilantro, you can substitute with other fresh herbs such as finely chopped fresh parsley, chives, dill, or a combination of fresh herbs, adding them to taste. Dried herbs could be used if necessary but fresh is best.
Is this a Make-Ahead Salad?
Leftover chickpea salad is great for meal prep because it keeps really well in the refrigerator for a couple of days. The lemon juice prevents browning in the avocados and the taste only gets better as the flavors meld in the refrigerator. To store, cover with plastic wrap directly over the surface of the salad and refrigerate the leftover portion. Add the salt just before serving to prevent softening of the cucumbers and tomatoes.
More High Protein Salads:
Chickpeas make this a feel-good, protein packed, and satisfying salad. We love salads with protein because they keep you full for hours.
- Avocado Chicken Salad – so easy with rotisserie chicken!
- Salmon Cobb Salad – with juicy morsels of salmon
- Chopped Chicken Salad – this has the best dressing
- Shrimp Salad with juicy cajun shrimp
- Avocado Tuna Salad – uses avocado instead of mayo!

I love your salad recipes. Delicious and healthy and above all, enjoy your easy to follow videos. Thank you.
Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Laurie!
Came across this recipe when looking for chickpea recipes (my mom accidentally bought cans in bulk LOL) and I found this one. We both love it and will make a bigger batch for meal preps for lunch and snacks!
I’m glad you found a good use for them! I’m so happy you both enjoyed this recipe, Shawna!
My sister introduced me to this salad one evening. It is so fresh, satisfying and bright. I made it the following day for lunch. It is delicious AND healthy. It has become a favorite. We like the dressing so much I keep it a bottle of it on hand and reach for it often. It has many uses. I happened on to your site while seeking a lemon bar recipe and was so captivated by your on screen presence that I watched videos most of the afternoon. Thanks for great recipes and well-narrated, engaging, entertaining how-to videos. I love your story and knowing I’m following like-minded believers.
Aww, thank you so much, that means a lot! I’m so glad you loved this salad. I hope you find many more recipes to enjoy on my site. Be blessed!
Delicious! I added some orange and yellow peppers and salad greens. Wonderful mix of flavors
Yum! I’m glad you loved it.
I so enjoy your blog. I wish there was a cookbook to use… I do not have a printer, so I can’t make any copies. I have tried several of your recipes and have loved them all!
Thank you! You are awesome!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes, Lucette! We have a cook book coming out in 2023! Stay tuned!
I am Interested in a cookbook of your recipes, too. Will you post on your page when it is avaIlable? I don’t want to miss it.
Hi Diane! Click on the “subscribe” button at the top of this page. This is where you can stay up to date with all the announcements about the cookbook. 🙂
If you have a library nearby you can print them there. I live really close to a library and just pop in once a week and print things off. Actually saves a lot of money. Hope it can work for you. This is a great recipe, I make it a lot
I love this salad. We are not cilantro fans. So I substitute fresh parsley and also add black beans.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Kim! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Absolutely delicious and customizable if you want to change it up. Original recipe is fantastic though. It’s not just good for healthy food, it’s just plain good!
Thanks for your good comments and feedback, Rebecca! Good to hear that you liked it.
Natasha deserves an EMMY tomorrow night.
Added some tuna. Used goat cheese since my husband doesn’t like feta.
So good
Goat cheese works great! Thanks for sharing. I’m happy to hear it was enjoyed.
Absolutely loved. My couple of tweeks – I seeded the cucumber to see if that was the liquid problem others were having; I used a mix of basil, parsley & dill(about 1 T of leftover mix went in the dressing); I added 1/2 t. of dijon mustard to the dressing and to blend the dressing I used a hand stick blender.
So glad it was loved, Betty! Thank you for sharing.
This salad was easy to make and delicious!! Will definitely make AGAIN!!! Very colorful salad too!!
Hello Kelly, awesome feedback. Thank you for sharing!
This was absolutely delicious. I swapped the coriander for parsley so that hubby could enjoy to. This will be a regular for us.
Thank you for the good comments and feedback, Suzanne!
Hi Natasha
I made the recipe and it ended up pretty watery. Any thoughts on where I may have gone wrong? Tastes good though.
Hi Jasmin. Make sure you are rinsing and draining the chickpeas very well. If you used the correct amount of lemon juice/oil I don’t see where else the excess liquid could have come from. Sometimes tomatoes can leave more juice depending on the type and how ripe they are. I hope that helps.
Natasha some people find excess liquid in this salad .wondering should be added just before serving to avoid moisture being drawn out of cucumber etc?
Hi Darren, Make sure you are rinsing and draining the chickpeas very well. If you used the correct amount of lemon juice/oil I don’t see where else the excess liquid could have come from. Sometimes tomatoes can leave more juice depending on the type and how ripe they are. I hope that helps
So easy to prepare and it tasted great! Will definitely make it again.
So glad to hear that, Jo Ann! Thank you for the wonderful review.
I made this today to have with our grilled burgers tonight. I’m not crazy about cilantro, so instead I added fresh parsley, dill and basil…….it’s soooooo good. Can’t wait for dinner!!! Thank you Natasha for your continuation of outstanding recipes.
You’re very welcome, JoAnn. I’m so glad you loved them.
Too many ads running! Enjoy these recipes but why does there have to be a novel before we can see it? UGH
Hi Georgia. We are always trying to create the best possible user experience but in order to keep our recipes free for our readers, we need to have ads on our page.

Thank you Natasha for this quick and easy recipe. I didn’t have an avocado on hand so added extra tomatoes and a small green bell pepper. Delicious!!! Will try it with the avocado next time!!!
Hi Betsy, sounds good! We’d love for you to share another feedback when you try this with avocado next time.
Made this tonight based on what I had in fridge. Replacements include regular cucumber, sweet yellow onion, goat cheese crumble, and Italian parsley. Yummy.
That’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Lisa. 🙂
Hi! Just wondering if you can store this in the refrigerator – I don’t have a lot of time in the morning, so I really can’t make this, but I think I could make it the night before so my daughter could bring it to her summer camp for lunch. Thanks!
Hi Sophie, please see the ‘Is this a Make-Ahead Salad?’ section of the recipe where we talk about this being a great meal prep/ make ahead salad & how to store it.
Hi are you able to tell me how many cups per serving? Thanks.
Hi Stephanie, I didn’t measure it by cups. Depending on how big you cut your ingredients, it can be anywhere from 1/2 – 1 cup. This serves six as a side.
This was delicious! The combination of lemon, cilantro and feta is wonderful. Such a nice dinner with some whole grain crackers for a hot summer night.
I meant to give this 5 stars… for sure! This one’s a keeper!
Thank you for the wonderful review, Mary.
So glad to hear that, Mary. It really is a good combination. Thank you for sharing.
I agree with Mary…. the combination of feta, lemon and cilantro is fabulous. The balance of all the flavours was so tasty. I never cooked a lot…. travelled for business so I have to follow a recipe to ea detail. It was so good.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, Pat. Thank you for sharing.
Didn’t have my list with me and bought goat cheese instead of feta. Left out the salt and added 1/4 cup honey. Delicious.
I’m glad it was still delicious. I love when mistakes end up working out great!
Eating it right now! Delicious. I had to wait for days for my avocado to ripen and I forgot to get cilantro.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Sandra!
I really love taking this salad to summer potlucks. I love that it’s a healthy side dish that is also delicious and pretty! Thanks for the easy recipe!
So glad you enjoy it! 🙂
What a great – light salad for summer supper!!! So glad I found this recipe. Big hit with the family!!!!!
That’s wonderful, Katie! I’m happy you found this recipe.
Great salad. With the bit of left overs, I added tuna for lunch the next day.
Question..what is the serving size? I was not sure what serving size was used for the nutrition guide. Thanks
Hi Charlene! So glad you enjoyed this salad! It makes 6 servings total so the nutrition facts are for 1 serving.
I would like to know how many oz. the entire recipe makes so I know the ounces per serving.
Also, if I left the Feta cheese out, to try and reduce the fat content, what would be the fat content for the recipe or per serving? 4 oz. of Feta is showing to have 24g of fat / 6 servings = 4g fat per serving. That is no much reduction. So what ac
counts for the 20g of fat for a serving?
Hi Jan. I do not have this measured out in ounces. You will have to weigh it out once it’s made and then divide that amount by 6 servings (or however many servings you’d like to make of it). As for the fat, avocado and olive oil are also ingredients in this recipe.
I’ve made this salad before. Very delicious but I make enough where I have salad left over. Next time feta cheese will be put on right before I eat it because the next day it lost it’s sharp so the dressing looked white. But it was still good.
I’m so glad it was a hit, Iva!
I substituted rice vinegar for the lemon juice and added a tablespoon of dried dill. Really good, refreshing summer salad.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Lauri! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
I might have missed reading this, but when should I put the dressing on, if I’m making it early in the day and putting in the refrigerator until dinner. I will probably wait to put the avocado on at the very end before serving, so it doesn’t turn brown. Thank you for your help.
Hi Tammy, yes, this can be made ahead of time! I hope you love this recipe!
Made this and omitted the avocado, husband is not a fan. Neither of us cared much for the cilantro, next time I will substitute parsley.
Sounds great!
Lovely, fresh flavor. I made it without feta trying to reduce dairy intake. It’s so delicious.
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
Joining friends for a potluck picnic. The salad will be in a cooler for a couple of hrs. Is it okay to add the dressing before I leave home?
Hi Jacinta! Yes, that should work!
Natasha, your recipe is just unbelievably good. My entire family loves it!
Also, as I am able to make it ahead of time, unlike many other salads, it is just great!
Glad you love this recipe, Nila. Thank you for your good comments and feedback!
This salad is awesome from the taste to the colorful look. Simple to make. Definitely going to keep this one.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Cindy!
What is the serving amount for one. I know it is 302 cal, but how much is 302 cal?
Hi Mary, this recipe serves 6 as a side. So it with be one portion of the six. I hope that helps!
I serve this healthy and refreshing salad at dinners and is always a hit. Another great recipe (as usual!!!!!).
Thanks for the good feedback, Bob!
Left out cheese as I was out.but it was still yummy.i filled a Pita pocket with it.will make again with mozzarella balls.
Sounds delicious!
I must admit that I love this salad is so delicious that I have it breakfast, lunch and dinner – sometimes a spoonful between meals. P.S. find your recipes exceptional.
Don’t you just love salads like this, Diane? I love that it is good any time of day!
I loved this, but I used Cotija cheese and it was terrific. Thanks. The dressing was yummy with it, too.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Terri.
Absolutely delicious! I used a Meyer lemon that I happened to have. Will definitely make again and again!
Sounds great! Thank you for the review.
Screams fresh burst of Summer!! I used dill instead of cilantro, added red baby bell peppers. My mouth was doing fireworks with all the flavors! Shockingly, I was so satisfied with just this as my main meal instead of always having some kind of meat. My family was fighting for seconds 🙂
I absolutely agree! It’s so refreshing and full of flavor. Dill sounds amazing, I love dill. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe.
I love this salad! I omitted the avocado (none on hand) and added Kalamata olives. It is so delicious!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Linda!
This was delicious! The onion was a little overpowering for me, I may use green onions next time. I didn’t have any garlic which was a huge surprise, I always have garlic. I added a little garden rotini but I love the suggestion to add hard boiled eggs, dill or tuna, yum! Great, healthy recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing that great review with me, Crissy!
I absolutely LOVE this salad and it’s always a hit whenever I make it. I don’t care for cucumbers, so I just leave that out cut back on the dressing. This is perfect for the high protein diet that I’m presently on. Sometimes, I mix in a hard-boiled egg or some tuna, to my serving, for an extra protein boost.
Wonderful! Thank you, Karina. I am so happy you enjoy this recipe. I appreciate the review.
I added about 1/4 cup of quinoa to the salad which was wonderful.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Sam! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Natasha this salad is A-MA-ZING. Hubby & I are not fans of cilantro so I replaced it with Italian parlsey (fresh from my mum’s garden), & I also used finely sliced fresh figs, the flavours are incredible, the saltiness of the feta & the sweetness of the figs meld so well, it’s a feast for the tastebuds, thank you for such a great recipe.
Kindest regards
Rita
Hi Rita, thanks for sharing that with us. Good to know that the substitutions that you used worked well in this recipe. Thank you for the review!
What is the serving size? Just says per serving but I need metrics on this.
Hi Kristen, depending on how big you cut your ingredients, it can be anywhere from 1/2 – 1 cup. This serves six as a side.
This was absolutely delicious, and very easy to prepare! Great meal to have after working out, with all the protein.
The perfect post-workout meal! Thank you for your awesome feedback, Steve!
Added T tahini & a few dashes of zatar. Loved it. Your recipes rock
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Laney!
Hi, what other cheese can I use for this salad besides Feta?
Hi Kowsilia, you could use fresh mozzarella diced up or in the little balls would work really well and look pretty also. You could leave the cheese out as well, just keep in mind feta does have a salty bite to it so the salad might need a little more salt if you swap it out.
Really tasty and healthy No leftovers with this one . Thank you
You’re welcome, Linda. Thanks for the good review!
This was hit in our family! Even my 6 year old loved this salad, thank you so much Natasha!
That’s perfect! You’re so welcome, it is my pleasure to share these awesome recipes with you all.
Omg I made it, but I change a few thing. I did not add onions nor cilantro. I used a regular cucumber. It was amazing. It did not need dressing. I did add chicken breast to it.
That sounds delicious!
I made this 2 days ago and I’m currently making it again. SO good! I do leave out the cilantro (soap – yuck!) and the cheese because I’m DF, but it’s still delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Made this yesterday and is in fridge. I did sneek a taste and tastes awesome. I will be making this often. Love your never fail recipes.
Thank you and great to hear that you enjoyed it!
Hi, this looks delicious. I’m making it tonight, but only have goats cheese. Do you think this would work? Thanks.
Hi Stacey, I haven’t tried that yet but I imagine that should be okay.
Great recipe. Easy to throw together and another way to use chickpeas. Didn’t have any cilantro so added in oregano, thyme, basil and safe. Also diced up a fresh jalapeño. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Kim! I’m so happy you enjoyed that.
Not only is this delicious, it is beautiful. All the bright colors, red, green and the wonderful lemon zing and the cilantro bite, not to mention the feta finish.
This never lasts long in my house.
Hi Linda, good to hear that the recipe is always a hit! Thank you for sharing your good feedback with us.
I LOVE this salad. I make it at least once a week 🙂
Glad you love it, Kate!
I love this salad! It’s easy, delicious, and keeps well for a few days. Have made it several times now; definitely on rotation for a good lunch salad. I have even made the dressing for other salads–so light and delicious! Sometimes I add Kalamata olives but otherwise follow recipe exactly.
Hi Kara, nice to know that you loved this recipe and you also keep some for a few days. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Made the chickpea salad tonight for dinner and my husband and I love it!! 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Maristela!
I can’t believe I waited so long to make this!! It had my name written all over it. :). Absolutely love it!! Haven’t tried it with the avocado yet, I was out.
Yay! That’s so great, Elayne! It really is a delicious Salad! I’m happy you loved it!
What cheese would be an alternative to feta?
Hi Cyndi, you could use fresh mozzarella diced up or in the little balls would work really well and look pretty also. You could leave the cheese out as well, just keep in mind feta does have a salty bite to it so the salad might need a little more salt if you swap it out.
Delicious! So light and fresh!! I added pine nuts. FIVE STARS ⭐️
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review with me!
I made this tonight and my entire family loved it – even my 5 year old!
Happy to hear that, Stephanie! Hope they will love all the recipes that you will try.
Loved this recipe with the addition of Kalamata Olives. Thought it was even better the second day after the ingredients “marinated” in the dressing.
Yum! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I have tried many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. They are flavorful and for the most part nutritious.
Hi Cecilia, so great to know that! Thanks for your review and I hope you’ll love every recipe that you will try.
Feta is my favorite so I came looking for a recipe, and this one is the winner!! This salad was quite a hit at our July 4 meal! I didn’t have a lemon so I subbed lime with great results. Thank you for a delicious and beautiful salad recipe!
That is awesome feedback, Kim. Thank you for sharing that with us. We appreciate your review.
Thank you for this recipe! To clarify, when you say 15 oz of chickpeas, do you mean 15 oz before or after draining? (i.e. about 1 can of chickpeas or 2?). Thanks again!
Hi Anne, we note in the recipe “15 oz chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed”. A 15 oz can will be perfect here.
I’m in love with your recipes. I love all the salads you make. every time my friends come to us they ask me to make them your salads. I love them
Thank you for that wonderful feedback, Oana! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes!
Delicious Natasha. Thank you for another 5* recipe
You’re welcome, Dawn! I’m so happy you enjoyed that.
Delicious and nutritious! Loved the salad dressing and LOVE chick peas. This was a winner for me. I added some black olives and used yellow (non acidic) tomatoes. Thanks for such a lovely recipe!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Patricia!
This is my new favourite salad. The dill is such a refreshing touch.
I made your ground beef sliders to go with and it was a perfect meal. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, Cindy! I’m glad you are enjoying the recipes that you tried.
Can’t get enough of this salad!
I like to add turmeric with just a wisp of cinnamon to the lemon juice and let the onion/garlic/cilantro marinate for a bit.
And I know it’s time consuming but removing the skin off garbanzos really makes them pop!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Phil!
Where is your cookbook I am unable to follow and find the recipe while you are making the dish. Please help me Lauretta
Hi Lauretta, I do not have a cookbook but I am already working on it. In the meantime, you can print or save the recipes by clicking Jump to recipe and then print. I hope that helps!
Please get your recipe book out soon! Everything you make is wonderful!!!!
I love your enthusiasm giving the recipes!!!
Fun to watch while giving great recipes!
Thank you so much, Thomas!! We’re working on it! Stay tuned!
Could I replace the chickpeas with chicken? If you were to meal prep this for lunches but felt you needed a side what would you have? Thanks in Advance!!!
We love to serve this with a side of meat such as chicken or pork tenderloin. We also love this alongside potatoes. You may also like our Avocado Chicken Salad. https://natashaskitchen.com/avocado-chicken-salad-recipe/ You can replace chickpeas with an alternative bean. Chicken should work fine as well.
This salad is a winner! My kids were helping themselves to 2nd and 3rd servings.
Also, I love that after mixing the salad, the avocado and feta melted just a little, coating all the ingredients with a subtle creaminess, yum!
This reminds me of your cucumber, tomato, and avocado salad, but I really liked that the garbanzos make it heartier so it can even work as a stand alone salad for a lighter meal.
That’s so delicious, the way you described it. I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Can’t see the directions for the recipe because of all the ads. Come on- ridiculous

I appreciate your feedback and I hope you love every recipe you try.
You arę the best. I am looking forward to your cookbook
Looks amazing. I am anaphylactically allergic to garlic (I know, the WORST, and I am Italian…), any suggestions for a different dressing?
Oh that is tough – I haven’t tried anything besides garlic, but I think it would still work fine without it.
This is a very refreshing salad. I added Kalamata olives for a little more flavor.
Sounds good too! Thanks for sharing that with us, Tina.
My sister and I made this recipe for dinner today. It was so good! Our family loved it! The dressing was great. The chickpeas and feta cheese in it, added a great pop of flavor to the salad. We used lettuce instead of cucumbers, bc we don’t like them.
Hello Zoie, sounds good! I think lettuce is a good substitute for this recipe, thank you for sharing your good feedback with us.
Made this salad tonight. It’s delicious!!
Glad you liked it, Sandy!
This is one of my favorites! I’m heading up to the store to get the ingredients now so I can make it again. 🙂
Nice! Enjoy and I’m glad this is your new favorite. Thanks for your good feedback, Dawn!
I made this recipe and it was a big hit with my family! Did anyone else have their avocado soften and become basically a part of the dressing? I guess the trick is to use avocados that are not so ripe. Still super yummy and delicious though!
Thanks for sharing that with us, Rose. I haven’t tried that but maybe others here can share their experience?
Absolutely delicious!!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Alicia!
What amount is in a serving – 1/2 cup? 1 cup?
Hi Hollie, depending on how big you cut your ingredients, it can be anywhere from 1/2 – 1 cup. This serves six as a side.
Thanks for answering my question – how much is in a serving. I’m sure I went over that as it’s so delicious! We’ll be having it often!
How long has this lasted with the dressing on it? I would like it to last for the week. I can add the feta cheese and cilantro each day as I know those won’t last throughout the week
Hi Sandi, I honestly haven’t tried storing this in the fridge for more than 3 days. You could try that but I can’t guarantee since I haven’t experimented on that yet.
Thank you for the plant based recipe. I enjoy watching your videos but being a vegan for 5 years, most of your recipes use animal products so I can’t make it for the family. This one I can eliminate feta.
Thank you
Thank you for giving that recipe a try, Madz! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I made this and it’s very good!! Hope my company likes it
Nice, please update us too on how it goes!
Hi made this today as usual with all your recepies it tasted amazing and will make again. Thank you, Grahame
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Grahame!
I made the chick pea salad. I added some baby spinach, and radicchio, and also some tuna. That was the whole meal. Everyone enjoyed it
Awesome! Thank you for your great review, Goldie.
Delicious!! The lemon really popped in this salad and it was quite tasty. It was a hit with my family and will now be added to our favorite sides. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this salad, Karen. Thank you for your great comments and feedback!
Natasha I am fun of you and your recipes. Please send me your recipes for a diabetic person. Thanks, have a wonderful New Year and God bless you today and always.
Hi Nancy, we don’t have a diabetic category currently. Thank you for the suggestion and God bless you also in the New Year!
I am not a fan of cilantro can you substitute parsley
Hi Donna, several of our readers reported great results substituting with parsley! I hope you love this recipe!
This looks great going to try. I have made your chicken mango salad several times its so good.
Sounds good, Debby. I hope you love this recipe too!
I’m so impressed with how good this salad is. My new favorite.
That’s so awesome, Adrienne! I’m so glad you found a favorite on our blog!
This recipe is flavorful and easy to put together! I used 2 roma tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. Next time I will use 3 roma tomatoes and add another avocado. I made this as a lunch salad, and there was enough for 2 servings. If you’re craving something healthy, fresh and delicious, give this recipe a try!
Hi Kaitlyn, thanks for sharing that with us. I appreciate your great review and recommendation! I’m glad you loved this salad.
Wow. This is a great salad. I think I found a new go-to recipe. My wife wanted more avocado so next time I’ll use 2.
I’m glad you and your wife loved this recipe! Thank you for sharing your good experience with us, Frank.
Hi Natasha, what is the amount of calories if the feta cheese is left out?
Hi Sabrina, there is no way to change the nutrition label specifically because our nutrition label isn’t that advanced. You would have to figure out how many calories are in the amount of feta and divide that per serving. I hope that helps.
Made this exactly as it was written. Superb! Love your tasty salads. My child eats them without fussing and he’s 8. Thank you!!!
Love it! Thanks for your great review, Andrea. So glad to know that your child loves this recipe!
Just made this tonight and my husband loves it I did omit the chickpeas only because I did not have any very good five stars will make this again definitely😋And I didn’t have any cilantro so I use dill I also only had one small lemon so I used one small lime🤩👍👍
Yay thank you for your perfect rating and excellent review. We appreciate it!
Looks delicious. I can’t wait to taste your recipe. Thank you!
You’re welcome and I hope you like it!
i’m allergic to Feta cheese. I tasted it once for the first time and it was delicious…30 mins later I broke out in hives and asthma attack. I concluded it was the Feta since it was the only new thing…so I tried it again this time only that. I broke out in huge hives again with asthma attack. So with that said what do you recommend as a substitute for Feta cheese? I was thinking Panela cheese cuz it’s less salty that Queso Fresco.
Hi Yolanda, yes, you could use fresh mozzarella diced up or in the little balls would work really well and look pretty also. You could leave the cheese out as well, just keep in mind feta does have a salty bite to it so the salad might need a little more salt if you swap it out.
Are the nutritional stats for the entire recipe or per serving please?
Hi Donna, it is per serving that is correct. We have the number of servings at the top of the recipe card.
How big is a serving?
Hi Angela, We have the number of servings at the top of the recipe card. A serving will be 1/6 of the recipe.
Made this today for dinner but omitted the cheese since I am vegan and paired it with quinoa and it was BOMB! Thank you so much for the recipe! I recently came across your website and I have selected at least 5 recipes to try this week, starting with the almond cake 🙂 Thank you, from my family and I 🙂
I’m glad that it was also delicious if paired with quinoa! Thanks for sharing that with us and I hope you love every recipe that you try.
Made the chickpea salad today along with the dressing. Amazingly good. Loved it!
Awesome! Thank you so much for your great feedback.
We tried the Chickpea Salad and were delighted for how easy it is to make. We used little more black pepper and some red pepper to make it little hot and it turned out to be great. We are using it when we have guest also. Thanks.

Delicious and refreshing. I love chickpeas and this is a great way to use them. I have made them in a salad before but this was much better. No avocado in the house but it still was perfect.
So great to hear that, Jeanne. Thanks for sharing that with us!
