Instructions
- Place half of the chickpeas in a food processor.
- Add in the avocado, lemon, cilantro, garlic and season to your taste with salt and pepper.
- Pulse several times until everything is minced, but not make it into a paste.
- Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the remaining wholechickpeas and chopped celery.
- Spread the filling over 2 of your bread slices. Top with sliced tomato andlettuce. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 2 slices of bread
Notes
- Be sure your avocado is ripe enough. If the avocado is too hard, it is not ready to use. Too soft? Probably won't be good in this recipe.
- Ripe tomatoes are best for this sandwich because they are richer in flavor and have much more depth.
- You can use either cilantro or parsley. We like parsley.
- Store the chickpea and avocado salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or just before the avocado browns.
- Make a chickpea salad wrap by using a tortilla.
