Jump to:
This is officially my new favorite way to lunch. Or when I want a no-fuss, healthy dinner that takes close to zero time to make.
We all know avocado toasts are all the rage. I started making them for lunch 2 - 3 times a week last summer. I'd slice up a half an avocado. Toast up a slice of seeded bread, grab some good olive oil, and finish it off with a spray of Jane's Crazy Salt. Well now I'm stepping up my game with this version with chickpea salad.

Chickpea Salad Avocado Toast
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (or cook your own)
- ½ cup finely diced celery about 1 stalk
- ¼ cup finely diced onion or white onion or spring onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic or garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 pieces of whole wheat seeded bread or any bread
- 2 large avocados
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Jane's Crazy Seasonings Mixed Up Salt or your favorite
Instructions
- Pour the beans into a shallow bowl, and coarsely mash them with a fork or potato masher. Alternatively, you can use a mini chopper or a small food processor. The chickpeas shouldn't be completely smooth, nor left completely whole since you'll be spreading it on toasts.
- Stir in the celery, onion, garlic, dill, lemon, salt, and mayonnaise.
- Toast the bread and slice the avocados into thin long slices.
- Spread the chickpea salad on the toasts and top with avocado slices. Drizzle a little olive oil over the chickpea avocado toasts, and finish with a sprinkle of seasoned salt.

I love avocado toast too, and this chickpea spread elevates it to a perfect level, if you ask me

What's Jane's Crazy Salt?! I am so curious, I love avocado toast but I haven't 'mixed things up' with the salt as yet (though I do add chilli flakes!). This chickpea spread looks absolutely delicious Susan. I'm already a massive fan of hummus with avocado but I like the chunky texture and seasoning in this. Definitely reminiscent of tuna salad, vegetarian style! Will definitely try it.

NOW we're talking some lunch! This is right up my alley, and I love the notion of chick peas instead of tuna. Perfect!
(And you'll like this...I looked at the array of photos and I tried to guess which one you had done, and I got it right, first time, based on content -- vegetarian -- AND style!)

I need some of this in my life soon! I love avocado on toast, but this chickpea spread looks like it would just send it over the top!
I love cooking my beans in the slow cooker, too.
Suzanne
Avocado toast is the best and I love that you added chickpea's. It's superfood and will satisfy for sure.
Sid
Yum. I love chickpeas, well, Hummus, but this looks delicious as well. I guess I need to learn how to cook beans from scratch, I usually just keep a few cans of chickpeas in the pantry, but so going to try this. Great SRC choice.
