Add the cucumber, red onion and chickpeas to the bowl and toss to coat. Then add the crumbled feta cheese, avocado and cilantro. Toss gently to incorporate. Taste the salad, and adjust seasonings according to taste.
Serve immediately or let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
Notes
This salad will keep for up to 2 days covered in the fridge. I find the flavours intensify and is also nice served cold.
