Notes

🔀 Recipe Variations

🌶️ Add a little heat. Mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño for a spicy kick.
🫘 Try different beans. Swap chickpeas for white beans or black beans for a fun twist.
🧄 Add garlic flavor. A touch of minced or powdered garlic makes the dressing extra tasty.
🥬 Make it greener. Toss in some baby spinach or arugula for more color and freshness.

🫙 Storage & Make-Ahead

🧊 Storage:

Keep the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For the best flavor and texture, add the avocado just before serving — it keeps everything fresh and bright.

⏳ Make-ahead tip:

You can prep the chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, and parsley in advance, then simply toss everything together with lime juice and olive oil when ready to serve.
