TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this chickpea & avocado power salad.

  • Use Fresh Chickpeas: If you prefer, cook dried chickpeas for better flavour and texture.
  • Mash The Avocado: For a creamier texture, mash the avocado slightly before mixing.
  • Balance The Acidity: Add more lemon juice or a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangier taste.
  • Enhance Flavour: Sprinkle smoked paprika or cumin for an extra kick.
  • Make It Crunchier: Add toasted seeds or nuts like pumpkin seeds or almonds.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Greens: Mix baby spinach, arugula or kale for a filling salad.
  • Include Protein: Toss in grilled chicken, tofu or feta cheese for extra protein.
  • Make It Mediterranean: Add cherry tomatoes, olives and cucumbers for a classic Mediterranean touch.
  • Sweet Twist: Include dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds for a hint of sweetness.
  • Spice It Up: Drizzle with sriracha or add chopped jalapeños for some heat.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Keep Avocado Fresh: To prevent browning, add extra lemon juice before storing.
  • Meal Prep Option: Make ahead, but add avocado just before serving.
  • Freezing Not Recommended: It’s best enjoyed fresh due to the avocado’s texture.
  • Refrigerate Before Serving: Chilling enhances the flavours, making the salad more refreshing.
