Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Drain the chickpeas

    Open the can of chickpeas and pour them into a colander. Rinse them under cold water to get rid of the extra salt and liquid.

  2. Cut the tomatoes and onion

    On the cutting board, dice the tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Keep them separate in the medium bowl.

  3. Prep the avocado

    Halve the avocados, remove the pits and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Dice it straight into the salad bowl.

    Tip · To keep the avocado from browning, drizzle it with lemon juice as soon as it's cut.

  4. Mix the veggies

    Add the drained chickpeas, tomatoes and onion to the salad bowl with the diced avocado. Mix gently with the wooden spoon.

  5. Dress the salad

    Pour the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix again to spread the seasoning evenly.

  6. Let it rest

    Let the salad sit for 5 minutes so the flavors come together before serving.

    Tip · If you want more crunch, add a handful of pumpkin or sunflower seeds before serving.
