Recipe for Chickpea and Avocado Salad with Feta and Spring Onion
Start preparing the chickpea and avocado salad with the feta: place the feta in a baking dish and season with black pepper, dried oregano, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake it in a conventional oven at 392°F or in an air fryer at 356°F for 15–20 minutes.
Let it cool slightly and crumble it with your hands or a fork.
Trim the spring onion, cut it in half lengthwise, then slice it, keeping part of the green stalk.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them in a bowl with the crumbled feta and the spring onion.
Halve the avocado and remove the pit.
Score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern with a small, sharp knife.
Scoop the avocado flesh with a spoon directly into the bowl with the other ingredients.
Mix well and taste: if needed, adjust the salt.
You can add a little drizzle of oil if you like (the avocado already adds creaminess, but add oil to taste) and sesame seeds if desired.
Divide the chickpea and avocado salad onto plates and serve immediately.
