As we told you, we're aiming for at least one salad and one healthy smoothie a day in this challenge. How am we doing so far? Not always great.

This goal seems so simple and doable, but even as someone who loves vegetables, we struggle to reach that goal every day.

Leafy greens especially, are a real struggle (haha, yes, we've got 99 SERIOUS problems and this, in all honesty, is one of them).

Yesterday, in particular, was a tough day. It was kinda busy and our sister brought us pizza for lunch, so we barely ate ANY vegetables as we wasn’t hungry after that. We ended up drinking lemon water in the evening, to convince myself that’s enough.

Well, you and we both know – it is NOT. So this healthy avocado chickpea salad to the rescue!

We will be making this again for dinner tonight – we got hungry just selecting the pictures for this post.

And we can’t begin to explain just how hard it was to actually take the approx. 50 pictures of this salad. We were hungry, hot and drool-y. But, it was worth it!

Options

This recipe is gluten-free and vegetarian, but not nut-free, dairy-free or vegan.

However you can easily make it all these things, by not adding feta cheese (oh wow, now it’s dairy-free and vegan) or walnuts (nut-free).

These additions are completely optional and they shouldn’t affect the taste that much.
