This salad is so tasty and super easy to make! With only a few ingredients it is 100% healthy and ready in no time. It’s Perfectly Imperfect to eat as is, over lettuce, or in a wrap!
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 0
SERVINGS: 4+
ingredients
- 2 Avocados (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 can Tuna (drained)
- 1 can Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 2 large Tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 Cucumber (chopped)
- 1-2 Scallions (green parts only – finely chopped)*
Dressing
- juice of 1 Lemon
- 1/4 TSP Garlic Powder
- 1/2 TSP Onion Powder
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- handful of chopped fresh Herb of your choice (Cilantro, Basil, Parsley, or Dill)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Add Feta, Goat Cheese or Cheddar for extra flavor!
*I cannot tolerate raw onions more and more as I get older so unless I’m cooking them to add to a dish, I always use Scallions. They don’t give me a day’s worth of indigestion! However, if you love raw onions use 1/4-1/2 of a Red Onion instead (I wish I could.)
instructions
- Make the dressing. Add Lemon juice, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder and half the Herbs into a small bowl. Then whisk in Oil and Season with Salt and Pepper.
- Add salad ingredients (except Scallions if using them) together in a large bowl. Pour in dressing and gently toss. Adjust Seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with remaining Herbs and the Scallions. ENJOY!!

What a beautiful salad to make for a summer cookout. Adding to my recipe book.
It really is! Without mayo and the oil and citrus instead, it will hold up for quite awhile for any summer gathering!
OMG. This is so damn good. I opted for red onions and cilantro. This is FOR SURE going to be my summer go to.
Girl, I would do red onions too if I could lol. Thank you for sharing with me and I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
