Preparation Steps

Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until emulsified.
In a large bowl, mix chickpeas, avocado, onion, parsley, and feta gently.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until coated.
