Let’s face it; sometimes it’s just too hot to cook. Instead of ordering takeout, try this lemon avocado chickpea salad. There is no stove or oven required with this healthy and delicious plant-based recipe! It’s creamy, refreshing and a bit spicy (from the garlic).
Enjoy it over greens, or on whole-grain bread. Either way, it’s easy to make and packed with healthy veggies and spices.
