» Assemble Kiwi Chickpea Feta Salad

1. Wash and dry the lettuce really well. Remove the leaves from the stem and add them to a large serving bowl or platter. Add sliced kiwi, cucumber, and radishes.
2. Also add the chickpeas, avocado, and feta cheese over the greens. Then scatter blueberries on the top.
3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad right before serving. Toss lightly if desired, or leave it arranged for a beautiful café-style presentation. Serve fresh and enjoy this refreshing kiwi chickpea feta salad.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Use ripe but slightly firm kiwi for the best texture.
2. Pat the chickpeas dry before adding them to the salad to avoid extra moisture.
3. You can easily make this salad vegan by using vegan feta and maple syrup instead of honey.
4. For extra crunch, add walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or sliced almonds before serving.
