- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
Dressing
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Start by rinsing and draining the canned chickpeas thoroughly. This removes excess sodium and enhances the flavor of the salad. Chop the onion, bell pepper, pickles, cherry tomatoes, and avocado into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the parsley to add a fresh, herby touch.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chickpeas, chopped vegetables, avocado, and parsley. Sprinkle the hemp seeds on top for an extra nutritional boost. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.
- Enjoy this salad fresh, or let it sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve it as a light lunch, a side dish, or even as a filling for wraps or sandwiches.
