Tomato Avocado Cucumber Chick Pea Salad | Cooking Classy
This is a very summery salad with such vibrant flavors. I love the way the lemon fairs with the fresh herbs and how it just brightens the flavors of the fresh veggies (and fruits if you want to get technical with tomatoes and avocados). It would be great on a grilled chicken and spinach salad too. We all know how I’m obsessed with those. They are a go to lunch and dinner around here.

If you don’t want a big salad you can definitely scale this recipe down and use 1 container of cherry tomatoes, 1/5 a cucumber, 4 small avocado, 1/6 of the can of chick peas, 4 1/5 Tbsp parsley and 1 oz of feta.
