5 from 1 vote
This one combines tasty chickpeas with smooth avocado, and boosted with a good dose of baby spinach or arugula.

If you're looking for an easy, healthy, and yummy spread for fresh bread, crackers, or tortilla chips, you're in luck. This one combines tasty chickpeas with smooth avocado, and boosted with a good dose of baby spinach or arugula. Spread it on toast any time of day - even for breakfast, or scoop a little of the soft center from a fresh crusty baguette. It's as good for everyday lunches as it is as a special occasion dip or spread. Makes about 2 cups. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    Yummy! I love avocado toast. This recipe just kicked it up a notch and I love the added protein with the chickpeas. Or even stuffed in a pita with fresh veggies for lunch...
