Course Main Course, Salad
Servings 1 generous serving
Dressing
- 1 Tbsp cashew butter
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tsp water
- salt to taste
Salad
- 1 can chickpeas (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cucumber chopped
- 1 tomato chopped
- 1/2 avocado chopped
- 1/4 cup tortilla chips broken into small pieces
- 1 scallion chopped
In a large bowl add the cashew butter, sriracha (or any chili sauce you like), lime juice, water and a little salt. Whisk it together and if it is still pretty thick add a bit more water until it is thin and runny enough to swirl around the bowl easily. Taste it and add more salt if you need it. Mine needed a healthy pinch because I was using cashew butter with no added salt.
Now add the chickpeas, cucumber, tomato, avocado and tortilla chips. With a pair of tongs or a spoon toss all the ingredients together with the dressing until everything is nicely coated and mixed. Just like this.
Pile it as prettily as you can into a bowl, sprinkle it with chopped scallions and serve! I eat all of this myself, but usually not all in one sitting. I eat most of it at lunch and then slowly grab a bite or two throughout the afternoon. It keeps me going so I can wait for a later evening dinner.
