Quick and easy lunches can be tricky sometimes for vegans since normally there are less options available when you want something to just grab and go. This chickpea and avocado salad can solve that problem though. Delicious on toast, over greens, or served in scooped out tomatoes – it makes a healthy and protein packed quick meal or snack. It will keep for a couple of days in the fridge so consider making a larger batch to have on hand. It is also great with a couple of splashes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you like spice.
