Method
 

  1. Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry chickpeas. Dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, chop bell pepper and onion, and chop herbs. Crumble feta. Cube avocado last to prevent browning.
  2. Whisk or shake together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon, oregano, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  3. Add chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, pepper, onion, and herbs to a bowl. Pour dressing over and toss gently. Fold in avocado and feta last.
  4. Season with extra lemon, olive oil, salt, or pepper as needed. Let sit 5–10 minutes so chickpeas absorb flavor.
  5. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for 2–3 days in an airtight container.
