Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 15 ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans) rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium green bell pepper seeds and stem removed, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped, about 1 bunch
  • 1/2 cup red onion minced
  • 1/2 cup celery chopped
  • 1 avocado peeled, pit removed, chopped
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice from 1 to 1½ lemons
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients except the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Gently toss to mix.
  • Add lemon juice to a small bowl. Pour in a very thin, steady stream of olive oil while whisking the entire time to emulsify the dressing. Pour over salad and gently toss to distribute the dressing.
  • Season to taste with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. 
  • Serve immediately or chill up to 4 days.

Notes

If not planning on serving right away, you might want to wait to add the avocado as it will brown with time.
