Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Drain the chickpeas

    Open the can of chickpeas and tip them into a colander. Give it a little shake to get rid of the extra liquid.

  2. Cut the tomatoes

    Set a tomato on the cutting board and cut it into small cubes. Do the same with the second tomato.

  3. Peel the avocado

    Cut the avocado in half around the pit, remove the pit and scoop the flesh away from the skin with a spoon. Cut it into cubes.

  4. Slice the red onion

    Peel the red onion and cut it into thin slices. If it stings your eyes, do it near an open window.

  5. Mix the veggies

    In a salad bowl, add the drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes, cubed avocado and sliced onion. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Tip · For a softer texture, lightly mash half of the chickpeas with a fork before adding them.

  6. Dress the salad

    Add the lemon juice and olive oil to the bowl. Toss gently with a wooden spoon so you don't mash the avocado.

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