(Vegan) Smashed Chickpeas with Avocado and Lemon

Servings 3 people

Ingredients

  • 1 19 oz can chickpeas drained
  • 1/2 avocado mashed
  • 1 stalk celery diced finely
  • 1 scallion chopped finely
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
  • 1-2 T chopped fresh dill
  • 1/8 t smoked paprika
  • Salt – to taste
  • Fresh chili pepper diced finely – optional, to taste
  • Crusty bread – toasted or untoasted.

Instructions

  1. First, smash the chickpeas.
  2. Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and using a potato masher, mash them slightly. You’re going to ‘smashed’ rather than ‘mushed’, does that make sense?
  3. In other words, you want the chickpea to be broken but still mostly intact.
  4. Once the chickpeas are smashed, add the other ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
