Avocado Chickpea Salad
Avocado Chickpea Salad is a deliciously easy summertime side dish. It's perfect for picnics and potlucks, and it's a nice change from the usual potato salad and coleslaw that can usually be found at cookouts. Serve it as a side dish alongside a sandwich or on top of a bed of lettuce as a hearty main dish salad.
