This smash is a twist on the classic Avocado Toast. A friend was telling me about it and I just had to make it. I looked up a recipe to see what the ratio of ingredients were but I think everything about salad is instinctual. Dare I say I might actually like the addition of chickpeas to the classic Avocado Toast more? The salad also makes a great dip with crackers or pita chips. So simple, fresh, and delicious, give it a try!
