ARUGULA SALAD WITH ROASTED CHICKPEAS AND AVOCADO

serves 1

INGREDIENTS:

a few handfuls of pre-roasted chickpeas (I always keep some on hand and roast about two cans at one time)

2 cups of arugula (washed and dried)

1/2 avocado (ripened), finely diced.

1/2 lemon, juiced

for the chickpeas:

2 cans chickpeas

1 spray of extra virgin olive oil

salt + pepper

seasoning of choice (I like saltwater child-lime seasoning from the Silk Road spice merchant)

DIRECTIONS

Chickpea Prep

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

About once a week I prep some roasted chickpeas. I rinse two cans of chickpeas, pat them dry with a tea towel and spread them out on a baking sheet.

Spray them with a layer of extra virgin olive oil and top with seasoning of your choice.

Cook for about 20-30 minutes. Shake the pan about halfway through to make sure to cook them on both sides. I like to test them to make sure they’re crunchy and put them back in for 5 minute increments if they’re not as crispy as I want yet.

Salad Prep

Wash the arugula, add it to your salad bowl. Add in diced avocado, chickpeas, toss and top with 1/2 freshly juiced lemon.

Bon Apetit!
