Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 garlic clove, minced

ΒΌ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 slices of whole-grain bread

Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), for garnish

Optional toppings: Sliced radishes, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium-sized bowl, add the drained chickpeas. Using a fork or potato masher, roughly mash the chickpeas until they are mostly broken up but still have some texture.

    Mix in the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.

      Toast the Bread: While preparing the chickpea-avocado mixture, toast the slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster, skillet, or oven until they are golden brown and crisp.

        Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the chickpea and avocado mixture on top of each slice.

          Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs of your choice and any optional toppings you'd like such as sliced radishes for crunch, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for sweetness.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately, delighting in the creamy, nutritious blend of flavors on your toast!
