CHOPPED SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND AVOCADO



Chopped Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Avocado image

Like any good chopped salad, the lettuce here is in equal balance with the other ingredients, making this a great choice for those who are less than enthusiastic about leafy greens. Creamy feta and avocado mingle with briny olives and capers while cucumbers and finely chopped romaine provide crunch. Use this recipe as a template for making the most of ingredients you have on hand; radishes, cherry tomatoes or diced onion would all be welcome here. The same flexibility applies for the croutons: Stale bread works, of course, but even leftover hot dog buns, pita bread or oyster crackers become excellent little croutons when toasted in the oven.

1 romaine heart, quartered lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 medium (or 1/2 large) English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and diced

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 firm-ripe avocado, halved, pitted and diced
3/4 cup diced or crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, mint or parsley, plus more for serving
