Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans chickpeas (approx. 30 oz total)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup Rogliano's Authentic or Rosso Italian dressing
  • 2 cups chopped bell pepper (sweet mini peppers work too)
  • 1 cup chopped tomato
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 avocado (plus extra to taste)
  • optional extra: crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: a little lemon juice and olive oil for the avocado

Method
 

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Place them in a large bowl.
  2. Chop the bell pepper, tomato and cucumber; add to the chickpeas.
  3. Shake the Rogliano’s bottle. Add 1/4 cup of Authentic or Rosso Italian dressing and toss. Add more to taste, up to 1/2 cup total.
  4. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for a few hours so the flavors mingle.
  5. Peel and chop the avocado just before serving, then gently fold it into the salad. Add crumbled feta if desired.

Notes

Optional: toss the avocado with a little lemon juice and olive oil before adding it. The 15-minute preparation time does not include optional chilling. The photo shows the Authentic Italian version without optional feta.
