Ingredients

  • 15 oz. can chickpeas (or 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (or more to taste)
  • salt and pepper to taste
Optional add-ins:
  • 1-2 Tbsp. hummus, a couple shakes of garlic powder, fresh herbs, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse and drain chickpeas and place in a medium bowl. Mash with a potato masher. (Mash thoroughly for a smoother consistency, or not as much for chunky texture. I prefer a chunkier texture.)
  2. Cut avocado in half and remove pit and peel. Place avocado flesh in bowl. Add lemon juice, salt/pepper, and any other desired additions.
  3. Lightly mash again to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered for 2-3 days. (Though it's best when fresh!)

Notes

  • Serving: Enjoy as a dip with veggies, crackers, or chips, or on a sandwich with your favorite toppings. It's also great in lettuce wraps, on salad, or spread on flatbreads.
