TIPS FOR VEGAN CHICKPEA SALAD

  • For added flavour, let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes after tossing to allow the flavours to meld together.
  • Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid becoming too mushy when mixed.
  • Add chopped red onion or bell peppers to the salad if you prefer a crunchier texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Add a handful of mixed greens or spinach for extra nutrients and volume.
  • Sprinkle sunflower or hemp seeds on top for added crunch and healthy fats.
  • For more protein, include some quinoa or tofu to fill the salad more.
  • Substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly tangier flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Drizzle the avocado with extra lemon juice before storing it to keep it from browning.
  • Freezer: We don’t recommend freezing it due to the high water content of the vegetables and avocado, which can become mushy after thawing.
