Smashed Chickpea Avocado Salad
Servings: 3
Calories: 235kcal
Ingredients
- 1 – 15½ ounce can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large celery stick, chopped
- 2-3 scallions, (white and light green parts), finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the chickpeas, avocado, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl with a flat bottom and, using a potato masher or the tines of a fork, mash everything together (see notes).
- Fold in the parsley, celery, and scallions.
- Best eaten same day it’s made.
Notes
For a smooth salad mash all the chickpeas along with the avocado. For a chunkier salad, leave some chickpeas and chunks of avocado whole. You can also use a food processor to mix/mash the ingredients using the pulse function. Don’t process more than a few quick pulses or you will end up with purée.
