Chickpea, Avocado and Feta Salad

Just realised I forgot to publish this! Had this two weeks ago and it's really yummy!

Got this recipe from two peas & their pod while I was searching for what to do with the chickpeas I have at home. Changed it a little as I added radish (some red would be nice amongst all the green!) and did not add cilantro (or coriander, because Tesco didn't have fresh ones). 



Sorry for the ground coriander in the picture, was thinking of using that as the substitute of fresh coriander but decided not to in the end.

Ingredients:
1 can of chick peas
100g radish (or a handful)
1 large avocado
1 pack of Feta cheese (sorry forgot to look at the weight! You can just add as much or as little as you like)
3 shallots
1 lemon


Method:




Drain and rinse chick peas.


A handful of radish.




Rinse radish.




Cut off the ends of the radishes.




Slice radish into thin slices.




Cut the avocado in half.




Use a spoon to remove the seed (or pip or pit, whatever you call it). Alternatively, you can use the blade of your knife to whack the seed so that the seed is attached to the blade and then turn and the seed would come off. I didn't dare to hit the seed hard with my knife so I used a spoon!




Remove the skin using a spoon and dice the avocado. Alternatively (I think this is a better way) slice the avocado with it's skin on, then spoon it out. This way, your avocado would receive minimal damage to it! Avocados are really fragile so remember to be gentle with it. Here's a video on how to deal with avocados. There are so many more videos on youtube on anything you want to learn, so if you want to find other videos on cutting avocados, just search there!





Cut the feta cheese into cubes around the same size as your avocado or smaller. 
Dice the shallots and mix everything together in a large bowl. Squeeze in the lemon juice! 




Serve immediately would be best, but you can also clingwrap it and chill it in the fridge until you serve it!




Doesn't look real nice here since the avocado is kind of coming apart but it is definitely yummy!
