Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread (gluten free if needed)
  • ½ large avocado (use a whole avocado if yours isn't large)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup chickpeas (rinsed & drained)
  • Sea salt & black pepper
  • Microgreens, herbs, homemade sauerkraut or radish slices to garnish

Instructions

  • Toast slices of bread.
  • While bread is toasting, combine avocado flesh and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Mash with a fork or hands until almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In another bowl, mash chickpeas (this is definitely easiest using hands, though you can use a fork) until flaky. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread avocado mixture over toast slices, and top with smashed chickpeas.
  • Decorate with sprouts, microgreens or radish slices and serve!

Notes

Apple cider vinegar - If you don't have this, I would use lemon juice instead.
Chickpeas - You can sub in another kind of bean - I like using navy or cannellini beans. In a pinch, you could also sub in hummus.
 
Storage:
The smashed chickpeas can be prepared ahead however and stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
