Ingredients
  

Canned Ingredients

  • 15 ounces chickpeas or garbanzo beans canned
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Place on a paper towel and remove the outer skins. You can leave them on, but I like to remove them.
  • In a medium bowl, using a fork or potato masher smash the chickpeas and avocado together. Add in cilantro, green onion, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spread salad on bread and top with your favorite sandwich toppings. I like to add fresh spinach leaves.

Notes

This salad also makes a great dip. Serve with cut up veggies, crackers, or pita chips. Also, this salad is best eaten the day it is made because it will turn brown due to the avocado.
