  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 sliced avocado

Direections:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Let stand at least 15 minutes for flavors to combine, then toss and serve.

Katie B’s Tip:

  • I like to put this in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool if I make the corn on the grill!

  • 1 Can of an chickpeas (make sure you rinse them throughly to get all of the sodium off)
  • 3 tablespoons of Tahini

Katie B’s Tip:

  • Enjoy the chickpea burger on a pita with arugula, avocado and tomatoes. You can add your own seasoning here too maybe some parsley or lemon
