This is a very versatile recipe. This avocado chickpea salad can be used on a sandwich, chips, crackers or even veggies! Take this as a “choose your own adventure” recipe.
I would compare this avocado chickpea salad to a chicken or tuna salad, minus the meat.
Recipe Details
The entire recipe takes less than 5 minutes to make and only uses one bowl.
Eat this as a meal or appetizer–I personally find chickpeas and avocados to be pretty filling, but others may prefer this as a side.
In my picture, I smeared the salad onto Wasa gluten free crackers, but you could use bread, lettuce wrap, or even a spoon!
This should be eaten cold and within 24 hours since avocados don’t last long once opened.
Simple Ingredients
- Chickpeas
- Avocado
- Mayo (or vegan mayo)
- Lemon juice
- Raisins

Substitutions:
This recipe is paleo, as long as you choose a grain free option for your bread, crackers, etc.
Also, this can be made vegan if you substitute the mayo.
