Avocado Chickpea Tomato Salad
Vegetarian Salad
Wanting to use this huge avocado that I bought today I decided to use it in a salad. Because of the ingredients I've named this Avocado Chickpea Tomato Salad.
Like many salads that I make I will check and see what I have on hand, what will go together well, and then start building the salad. This is the thing I like about salads is you can add a bit of this and a bit of that, get creative, and most times if you like everything that you've put into the salad, it will taste great.
This vegetarian salad can be served as a side salad or as a meal all on its own.
