Avocado and Chickpea Salad

The first time I had avocado, it was in this form. My friend made it for us for a lunch,and got the recipe from a Bobby Flay show. I kid you not, you will make this recipe every time you get an avocado.

Its healthy, nutritious, light, and filling. Although it's a salad, it doesn't taste like one, because of how solid and flavorful it is. It also takes about 10 minutes to put together, which is always a plus. The dish is very versatile, if you like a certain ingredient more, add more of it. Instead of one avocado or one tomato, add two. Make it your own.

Ingredients:
1 medium-ripe avocado
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 medium tomato
4 sprigs of green onion stalks
1/4 crumbled of queso fresco spanish cheese
Juice of half a lime or more if needed
salt and pepper to taste

Add the chickpeas to a dish, and sprink on pepper and salt. Chickpeas need salt to bring out the flavor, so I always like flavoring them first.

Next add all the other ingredients, and sprinkle some more salt and pepper on top.


Mix it all up and serve with tortilla chips mixed in or used as a spoon.
