Chickpea Avocado Orzo Salad – full of proteins, healthy fats, can be a complete meal or a side dish.
Chickpea Avocado Orzo Salad consists of some of my favorite ingredients: pasta, avocado, feta cheese and chickpeas. It is so full of proteins, healthy fats and so nutritious that it can be a complete meal as well as a side dish. If feta cheese is replaced with black olives, the salad becomes suitable for vegans. The dressing is made with olive oil, lemon juice and Mediterranean herbs (or other herbs of your choice) which adds more flavor to the dish.
