5-Minute Mashed Avocado & Chickpea Salad

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil provides healthy fats while canola is more budget-friendly.

red onion

🥗Healthier: green onion

💰Cheaper: white onion

Green onion adds freshness, while white onion is often less expensive.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: basil

Parsley is a milder herb, while basil can be more affordable.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity, and vinegar is often cheaper.

Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Place on a paper towel and remove the outer skins.

In a medium bowl, using a fork or potato masher smash the chickpeas and avocado together.

Add in cilantro, green onion, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Spread salad on bread and top with your favorite sandwich toppings. I like to add fresh spinach leaves.
