Course Main Course, Salad
Servings 1 generous serving

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
