Servings: 4 servings
Servings: 1g
Ingredients
- Chickpeas– 1 can 15-16 ounce. The chickpeas can be cooked or just simply rinsed and drained for this recipe. Avocado- 1 average sized.
- Greek Yogurt- ½ cup. Vegan folks can sub in vegan mayonnaise.
- Lemon Juice- 1- 2 tablespoons or as desired to taste. Cilantro- ½ cup chopped.
- Scallions- 2 tablespoons chopped.
- Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Greek Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.
- Optional- Dijon Mustard– 1-2 teaspoons or as desired.
Instructions
- Prepare the chickpeas as desired (cooked or simply rinsed and drained). Then transfer them to a large bowl. Also, add chopped avocado to the bowl. You can pull a bit of each as desired to add later for texture. Use a potato masher to roughly mash together the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, blend together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, cilantro, scallions and seasonings as desired. Then stir this into the mashed ingredients in the first bowl. When these ingredients are combined you can gently stir in the avocado and chickpeas that were not mashed.
- Serve the chickpea salad on bread, in a lettuce wrap, or on top of a salad.
Recipe Notes
Mentioned was that the chickpeas can be cooked before using them in this recipe.
When cooked, the chickpeas will yield a smoother texture rather than the 'flaky' texture of mashed uncooked chickpeas. Both the avocado and the chickpeas will be mashed for this recipe. I suggest that you pull a small amount of each before mashing the rest and then add them after mashing the rest. This will allow for some variety of texture in your sandwich.
