In a medium sized bowl, mash the chickpeas until almost all the beans have been mashed, leaving a few whole for texture.

Add in the avocado, lemon juice, salt, pepper and fresh herbs if using. Mash until everything is combined. Alternatively you can pulse all of the ingredients in a food processor until combined to your liking.

Taste and add more lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed.

Spread on toast, sandwiches or use as a dip for veggies and crackers!
