Serving: This salad is perfect as a light lunch, a side dish for dinner, or even as a healthy snack. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats or can be enjoyed on its own.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge. For best results, enjoy it within 1-2 days, as the avocado may brown over time.
Variations:
Add Some Protein: Add grilled chicken, tofu, or quinoa to make it more filling.
Change Up the Veggies: Throw in some cucumber, bell peppers, or even roasted sweet potato for added texture and flavor.
Spice It Up: For a spicy twist, add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
FAQ:
Can I use canned chickpeas? Yes! Canned chickpeas are convenient and save time. Just make sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
Can I make this salad ahead of time? While the salad can be prepared ahead of time, it's best to add the dressing right before serving to prevent the avocado from becoming mushy. You can prepare the ingredients and store them separately in the fridge.
Can I substitute the avocado? If you're not a fan of avocado, you can substitute it with diced cucumber or even roasted pumpkin for a similar creamy texture.
