    Absolutely! Here’s a simple, hearty salad recipe that is packed with protein and flavor, making it filling enough for a meal.

    Chickpea & Avocado Power Salad

    Ingredients:
    – 1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
    – 1 ripe avocado (diced)
    – 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
    – 1 cucumber (diced)
    – 1 cup cooked quinoa (optional for extra substance)
    – 1/4 red onion (finely chopped)
    – Handful of spinach or mixed greens
    – Feta cheese (optional, for creaminess)
    – Olive oil
    – Lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar)
    – Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions:
    1. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and spinach.
    2. If using quinoa, fold it in at this stage.
    3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar) to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
    4. Toss gently to combine everything without mashing the avocado.
    5. Top with feta cheese if desired.

    Why It Works:
    – Chickpeas and quinoa (if included) provide a great protein boost.
    – Avocado adds healthy fats, making it more filling.
    – The fresh veggies keep it vibrant and nutritious.

    This salad is super easy to throw together, and you can customize it with whatever extras you like (like nuts/seeds or different veggies). Enjoy!
