TIPS FOR AVOCADO AND CHICKPEA SALAD

  • Use a ripe but firm avocado for the best texture.
  • Add a pinch of cumin or garlic for extra depth of flavour.
  • Enjoy this salad fresh to prevent the avocado from browning.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
  • Extra Crunch: Include diced red onion or shredded carrots for additional texture.
  • Spicy Twist: Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Drizzle with a bit of extra lemon juice to keep the avocado from browning.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as avocado and fresh vegetables do not freeze well.
