Method:
In a medium blending bowl, add drained/rinsed chick peas, diced red pepper, avocado, apple slices, onion tops and mayonnaise (or sour cream, if you prefer.) Blend until evenly mixed.
Add cubed or crumbled hard-boiled egg. Fold coarsely once or twice. Garnish top with a shake of chili powder and green sprig of whole parsley or cilantro leaf.
This is an easy to make side-dish that goes well with seasonal fare such as butternut squash and potato soup.

This sounds good. I wonder if mustard will taste ok as I don’t care for mayonnaise?

I have to try this. We eat humus every day here in Israel but I haven’t seen this combo before.

The images used in this article were part of that night’s supper… this article was published about an hour before my wife & I ate the salad in the bowls pictured. (and it was good stuff!)

Well that’s one for the recipe scrapbook. My partner loves chick peas, avacado, onions, apples, mayo, sour cream AND is also partial to a bit of spice in his life!! Strangely enough he’s had an avacado on our kitchen windowsill ripening for a couple of days so now he’ll know exactly what to do.
