*original recipe came from me needing dinner for a picnic in a hurry.

smashed chickpeas and avocado salad sandwhich

1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1 large ripe avocado
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped green onion
juice from 1 lime
salt and pepper, to taste
bread of your choice
fresh spinach leaves

directions:
1.  rinse and drain the chickpeas.  place on a paper towel and remove the outer skins.  you can leave them on, but i like to remove them.

2.  in a medium bowl, using a potato masher smash the chickpeas and avocado together.  add in cilantro, green onion and lime juice.  season with salt and pepper, to taste.

3.  spread salad on bread and top with your favorite sandwich toppings.  i like to add fresh spinach leaves.

4.  chop up spinach leaves and stir into the mixture. 

note:  this salad also makes a great dip.  serve with cut up veggies, crackers or pita chips.  also, this salad is best eaten the day it is made because it will turn brown due to the avocado.
