Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans, drained (cooked dried chickpeas work too))
1 medium avocado (large diced)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 medium clove garlic (very finely diced or grated (about 1/2 teaspoon))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or other coarse salt
4 [url href="https://www.kitchentreaty.com/how-to-make-perfect-hard-boiled-eggs-my-favorite-method/"]hard-boiled eggs[/url] (chopped)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
Additional salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
8 slices sandwich bread

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork.
  • Add the avocado, lemon juice, garlic, and kosher salt. Mash until blended, keeping a few chunks of avocado if you prefer.
  • Gently stir in the eggs and mayo (if using).
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Divide egg salad between four slices of bread and top with remaining bread. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
  • Choose the right chickpeas: Canned or dried chickpeas can be used in this recipe. If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well before using. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water, then cook them according to package directions.
  • Add flavor with spices: Cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder are all great spices to add to guacamole. You can also add fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
  • Use lime juice: Lime juice helps to brighten the flavors of guacamole and prevents the avocados from browning.
  • Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Chickpea guacamole is a delicious and healthy twist on the classic avocado dip. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or topping. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, chickpea guacamole is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
