Making Chickpea and Cucumber Chopped Salad is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by dicing the cucumber, bell pepper, and avocado. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.

4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
6. Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
7. Chill (optional): For enhanced flavors, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
8. Serve: Once chilled, give the salad a quick toss and serve it in individual bowls or on a large platter.
