5Lemony Chickpea and Avocado Smash
This bright and fresh chickpea smash is super easy to make, packed with healthy fats, and utterly delicious.
How to make it
- 1
Drain and rinse your canned chickpeas really well. You can pat them a little dry with a paper towel if you like.
- 2
In a medium bowl, use a fork or a potato masher to lightly mash the chickpeas. You want some texture, not a completely smooth paste.
- 3
Halve and pit the ripe avocado, then scoop out its flesh into the bowl with the chickpeas. Mash the avocado in with the chickpeas until it is creamy.
- 4
Stir in the finely diced red onion and the chopped fresh parsley. Give it a good mix.
- 5
Pour in the fresh lemon juice. Mix everything together until it is well combined and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately on toast, in lettuce cups, or as a lovely side.
