Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by preparing the chickpeas. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the drained chickpeas and sauté them until they are slightly golden and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning them. If they start to stick, add a splash of water to loosen them.
2. 2.
   While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, removing the pit, and dicing the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Place the diced avocado into a small bowl and drizzle with fresh lime juice to prevent browning. Toss gently to coat evenly.
3. 3.
   Grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater. Add the grated ginger to the avocado and lime mixture, and toss again to ensure the avocado is well-infused with the flavors. The combination of ginger and lime should give a refreshing and zesty accent to the creamy avocado.
4. 4.
   Once the chickpeas are ready, remove them from the heat and gently fold them into the avocado mixture. Combine until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the flavors from the lime and ginger, taking care not to mash the avocado too much to maintain its texture.
5. 5.
   Serve the chickpea and avocado mixture in a bowl, garnished with an extra sprinkling of lime juice if desired. Enjoy this dish as is, or pair it with some leafy greens or a side of quinoa for added substance.
