Scallion Herb Chickpea Salad
Description
Scallion Herb Chickpea Salad uses ripe avocado mashed with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and salt, along with fresh chopped parsley, cilantro, and scallions to form a creamy dressing. Canned chickpeas are drained and folded in, some mashed to combine with the dressing, creating a textured salad with both creamy and slightly firm bite.
The flavor combines the richness of avocado and yogurt with the brightness of lemon and the fresh herbal notes from parsley, cilantro, and scallions. The salad can be served over a bed of greens for a light meal or stuffed between bread or in a tortilla for a quick sandwich or wrap.
This salad offers a plant-based protein element from chickpeas paired with fresh herbs and creamy elements, making it suitable as a side dish or light lunch component. It requires no cooking and minimal preparation time.
