Notes
- Do not use over-ripened avocados. You need them to be ripe but firm.
- Any lettuce of choice or greens will work. We used Romaine lettuce
- Yogurt: we used Greek yogurt but plain yogurt will work, or any plant-based yogurt you prefer.
- Use only fresh veggies to make a salad. We recommend you do use fresh garlic cloves instead of garlic powder.
- Fresh lemon juice will taste much better than bottles of lemon juice. But if you are in a pinch and only have bottles of lemon juice you may use that instead.
- We used canned chickpeas but you may use dried and just cook them ahead.
