Mix it up:
In a medium bowl, combine chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, green onion, and feta cheese. -

Notes
- Storage:
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
(Pro tip: add extra lime juice to help prevent the avocado from browning.) - Make it vegan:
Skip the feta or use a dairy-free alternative like vegan feta or olives for a salty bite. - Serving suggestions:
Enjoy it as a salad, stuffed into pita bread, or with whole-grain crackers as a snack. - Meal prep tip:
