Avocados – packed with heart-healthy fats, creamy avocadoes make for the perfect base for this chaat. Just remember to pick firm avocados so they are easy to dice.
Chickpeas – an excellent source of protein and fiber, pantry-friendly canned chickpeas come in handy for making quick meals.
Red onion – thinly sliced red onion adds crunch and a pop of color.
Pomegranates – for a burst of color and flavor.
Yogurt – good source of protein and calcium, creamy yogurt with a hint of sugar and salt rounds out the flavors.
Cilantro & Mint – garnish with lots of cilantro and mint for fresh flavor and aromas.
Spices – tangy chaat masala, a hint of spice from red chili powder, and earthy cumin to enhance this dish.
To a medium salad bowl, add chickpeas, avocados, and lemon juice. Add red onions and pomegranate arils. Tear off cilantro and mint leaves and add to the salad. Whisk together yogurt, sugar, and salt in a cup and drizzle over. Sprinkle green chili, ground cumin, red chili, and chat masala on top.
