A Protein-Packed Avocado Chickpea Salad

Picture
Need a quick and filling lunch or dinner?  Then I have just the recipe for you! 

This is a good reason why you should always have multiple cans of chickpeas in your pantry- it might save your hunger one day :)  This chickpea salad is similar to tuna salad, just minus the tuna.  You can eat it on whole grain toast as a sandwich, spread it on whole grain crackers, as a topping on a baked potato or even over some fresh salad greens! There is no wrong way to eat this delicious protein-packed salad.

            Avocado Chickpea Salad
                        Serves 3-4

Ingredients:
  • 1 can of chickpeas, drained
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt + Pepper, to taste

Creamy Yogurt Sauce (optional)
  • 3/4-1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

1.  Put all ingredients in a medium size bowl. Use a hand masher, or a fork to mash ingredients together.  Mash until it makes a creamy, but still crunchy consistency. 

2.  If you are a sauce fan (like my sister), then quickly whip up the Creamy Yogurt Sauce to pair with the chickpea salad.  It makes for a flavorful spread on toast or a creamy dressing for salad greens! 


         Always craving good food,
                             Jillian
