Method

Start by prepping your fresh ingredients: chop the English cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and halve the olives.
Wash and thoroughly drain the canned chickpeas, chop the fresh parsley, and cube the avocado.
Grab a large bowl and start layering. Place the cucumbers at the very bottom, followed by the cherry tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas, olives, parsley, and the avocado on top.
Dress the salad directly in the bowl by adding the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, cracked black pepper, a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and the garlic powder.
Mix everything beautifully until the veggies and chickpeas are well coated with all the flavors.
Serve immediately to enjoy that perfect, fresh crunch!
