EASY MEDITERRANEAN MARINADE/DRESSING:
- 2.5 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 3 TBSP quality extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tsp lemon juice (squeezed from 1 large or two small lemon)
- 1/2–1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2–1 tsp parsley plus extra to garnish
- 1/2 tsp dried crushed oregano

INSTRUCTIONS
-
-
Drain and rinse chickpeas.
-
Chop your peppers, tomato, and cucumber, and toss them in a bowl.
-
Combine all dressing ingredients in a separate container and either shake or whisk to incorporate. Pour over salad and toss to combine.
-
Pop the bowl in the fridge, covered, for a few hours to let the fabulous flavors of the marinade get better acquainted with your veggies or enjoy right away.
-
Peel and chop avocado just before serving, and add to the salad. I like to toss my avocado in a little lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent it from browning.
