Avocado Chickpea Salad
Hello, fellow foodie friends!
I’m just popping in on this lovely Saturday morning to share the perfect salad recipe for food prep Sunday. A couple of weekends ago, I threw some of my favorite ingredients together for a lite lunch and this is what I came up with. I ate mine wrap-style for lunch and then later as a snack with some raw veggies and crackers. This salad is super easy and quick to put together. I actually timed myself and a tasty healthy lunch was ready to go in 10 minutes!
Avocado Chickpea Salad
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed (organic and BPA free is best), 15 oz
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped
- 1 can sliced black olives, 2.25 oz
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small avocado, pitted and diced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place chickpeas in food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds, until mashed.
- Transfer mashed chickpeas to a medium bowl and stir in all other ingredients. Carefully stir in avocado last.
- Spoon the chickpea salad onto sandwich bread, buns, wraps or use it as a dip for veggies and crackers. Enjoy!
