    When plain avocado in your sandwich isn’t quite enough, this Avocado Chickpea Spread will add some protein boosting chickpeas to make for a hearty and delicious sandwich filling.

    Avocado Chickpea Spread

    When plain avocado in your sandwich isn’t quite enough, add a satisfying protein boost with chickpeas (garbanzo beans).  Along with the addition of other goodies, it turns into a hearty and delicious spread. This Avocado Chickpea Spread is just the ticket for a lunch at home or to take with you on a picnic. Add slices of cucumber, tomato slices, thinly sliced red onion, greens – whatever additions that make your sandwich yummy!

    A litte diversion…

    Are you a picnicker? When I was growing up, my family regularly went on picnics. We’d often go to one of the lakes near us in New Hampshire or Maine and always bring a picnic lunch. I have fond memories of that.

    Have you ever gone on a picnic with friends and forgot to bring food? Well, my mom did that once – how embarrassing!! Our family went to the lake with another family and when we got there, my mom realized she had forgotten the food at home! Talk about feeling stupid!

    Well, thankfully that’s never happened to me, but I felt really bad for her since she was really embarrassed and the other family had to share everything they brought with us!

    Back on track

    Anyway, back to the sandwich…this sandwich filling is really creamy and delicious – it’s hard not to be good with avocado in it, right? It’s a great choice to bring on a picnic for us veggie folks! Just prepare it ahead of time at home and chill it for an hour or so the flavors can mingle. This can be a vegan or a vegetarian spread depending on which mayonnaise you use.

    Serve it on top of a salad or spread on the bread of your choice. I think it would be great in pitas, on sandwich rolls, croissants, etc. with a side of chips, pickles – whatever = picnic to you!
