I just returned from Sunriver Oregon, what a beautiful state! I got in so late and was craving something fresh, and whipped this up with the tomatoes from my garden. This is a staple for me, I love chickpeas and always keep them on hand and often crave this for lunch.

 

How to keep avocados from browning:

  • To keep avocado from turning brown, squeeze a little lime juice over cut pieces.  Alternatively, you can cut the avocado as you use it.
  • To store unused avocado, leave the pit in and get the wrap as close to the surface of the fruit as possible.  If browning occurs, gently scrape the exposed flesh with a butter knife and voila, beautiful green avocado lies within!

Some more helpful tips:

  • I love THIS salad spinner by Progressive.  It makes rinsing and drying lettuce and hearty herbs so quick and easy.
  • To use leftover chickpeas, add them to Spiralized Greek Cucumber Salad or make these Roasted Chickpeas to snack on during the week (just remember to ½ the spices since you have ½ the amount of chickpeas).
