Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your chickpeas are drained and rinsed well, and your avocado is ripe.

In a medium bowl, add the rinsed chickpeas. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the chickpeas until they’re mostly broken down but still have some texture.

Scoop your ripe avocado into the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Add the chopped dill pickles and lemon juice.

Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. If you’re using fresh dill, add it as well. Mix everything together until well-combined but still chunky.

Lightly toast your bread of choice if you like a little crunch.

Spread a generous amount of the chickpea and avocado mixture onto one slice of bread, then top with another slice.

Cut in half and serve with your favorite accompaniments, like a side of fresh vegetables or chips.
