Spicy Avocado Chickpea Salad

I am in love with vegetarian foods because it is something that I haven't ever tasted before since tasting foods without meat is just adventurous :) Take some time and effort to try new flavors and get a chance to experience the wonders of cooking in a whole new way!

Ingredients 
(Makes 4 servings)

For the Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
2 tsp honey

1/2 tsp ground cardamom (or cinnamon, but the results wont be the same)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp salt

For the salad:

4 avocados, sliced in half
14 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Directions

1. To make the dressing: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, honey, sugar, cardamom, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small bowl, set aside.

3. Next, chop the avocado into little squares and combine with the chickpeas and green onion in a large bowl; toss gently. 
4. Mix in the prepared dressing and evenly divide the filling into the avocado shells. Serve and enjoy!
