Vegan Avocado and Chickpea Salad

This salad is so tasty and is full of natural fats (from the Avocado) and natural nutrients from the chickpeas and of course the salad ingredients.

4 medium avocados, remove stone and slice into bite size pieces

I love a dijon mustard and lemon juice dressing which works perfectly with this salad.
