Chickpea, Coriander, Avocado And Lime Salad
This is a pretty old recipe and it does need a new pic, but we did a re-vamp on the recipe without taking a pic. #facepalm. You will get one eventually. In the meantime try this on for size. It is accidentally vegan, packed with flavour and health benefits and if you are using tinned chickpeas, can be whipped up without even thinking about it in advance. Just the sort of thing we all need in the summer months.
Enjoy....and if you happen to make it and take a better pic than this one, please send it to me ASAP.

The timing for cooking chick peas can vary based on how long you have had them in your pantry. They can easily be replaced with tinned chick peas. Obviously do not cook the chick peas if you end up using tinned ones.
