Preparation
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a large bowl. Dice the avocados, finely chop the red onion, celery stalks, and fresh herbs.
Combine Ingredients
Add the diced avocado, red onion, celery, and fresh herbs to the chickpeas. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all ingredients are well coated.

► If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or finely diced jalapeño.
► The salad tastes even better after resting in the fridge, but it's delicious fresh too.
► Serve it with toast, pita bread, or on a bed of lettuce.
