Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
TIPS: Use ripe but firm avocados so they don’t turn mushy when tossed. For more flavor, let the chickpeas marinate in the lemon dressing for 10 minutes before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
MEAL PREP: Lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper can all be mixed ahead of time and stored in an airtight jar. All vegetables can be pre-chopped except the avocado. Do not assemble until ready to serve. 
VARIATIONS: Make it vegan by swapping feta for a dairy-free version. Add quinoa, bulgur, or farro for a heartier salad. Mix in olives or roasted red peppers for a Mediterranean twist.
FLEXITARIAN ADAPTATION: Add your favorite lean protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon for extra staying power.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve as a light lunch, side dish, or stuffed into pita pockets. It’s also great over greens or paired with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon for a satisfying flexitarian meal.
