Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of red pepper flake
  • ¼tsp ground cumin
  • Handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Place chickpeas on a paper towel and pop each one out it's "skin". Discard skin and place chickpeas in a medium size bowl. This step can seem tedious but it's worth it for the creaminess/texture factor.
  2. Cut the avocado inhal lengthwise and remove pit. Scoop the flesh out and place in bowl with chickpeas. Add sea salt and lemon juice and smash the ingredients together with a fork or potato masher.
  3. Add the red pepper flake, cumin and parsley. Combine and add salt and pepper to taste. Eat on toasted bread, in a pita, wrap or alone.
Notes
Feel free to swap out the lemon for lime and parsley for cilantro. Also yummy with onion or scallions!
