Chickpea salad is a delicious protein-rich side or main, bursting with flavour, combining chickpeas, fresh tomato, cucumber, avocado, onion and a light dressing.
In a small bowl Combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, pepper and salt, whisk to combine (or shake them together in a small glass jar)
Combine remaining chickpea salad ingredients in a salad bowl, add dressing to taste and toss to coat
If you are making the salad ahead of time, omit the avocado Stir these in right before serving to ensure they do not brown and so retain their beautiful blobs of bright green in the salad
Notes
