Herby Chickpea Salad

I had a predicament in my mind. How doth one createth a salad as creamy and luscious as an egg salad withouteth using doth eggs? Answer: avocado, yogurt, chickpeas, and a lotta flavor in the form of herbz. She’s undeniably creamy, definitely luscious, AND sustainable as all heck. Win Win Win.

  • I used greek yogurt because I had it in my fridge, make this VEGAN by using a dairy free yogurt alternative or by omitting the yogurt altogether and doubling the amount of avocado. Either one is yum.
  • I served mine in a whole wheat pita. Would be equally as scrumptious on any type of bread.
  • If the texture of chickpeas bothers you a bit, try pre-smashing them before adding it to the rest of the avocado mix.
