INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup roasted chickpeas (approx. 82g)
1/4 medium avocado (approx. 50g), diced
1 ounce extra firm tofu (approx. 28g), cubed
1 cup mixed greens (approx. 20g)
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Toss the chickpeas lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil (if desired) to help crisp them. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.
While the chickpeas roast, gently press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a bowl, combine the mixed greens with the diced avocado and tofu.
Prepare the lemon vinaigrette by whisking together lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Once the chickpeas are done, let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, crispy chickpea and avocado salad.
