- Drain and rinse chickpeas, then using a fork or potato masher, mash the chickpeas. Pro tip: leave some of the chickpeas partially mashed for better texture.
- Add one avocado and mash it in with the chickpeas. Note: you'll add the second avocado later.
- Fold in shredded carrots and diced celery and onions.
- Stir in the spices, salt and pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Dice and gently fold in the second avocado.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve with crackers, chips, veggies, or on toasted bread.
Notes
- Don’t over-mash. We like the extra texture you get when the chickpeas aren’t over-mashed.
- Add the second diced avocado in at the end so you don’t overmix and can still get creamy bites.
- Dice veggies small for better scoopability and shred carrots on the smaller side of a box grater.
- Don’t skip the citrus. Add a squeeze of lemon to prevent the avocados from browning and to provide a little brightness.
