A quick and easy vegan pita sandwich with a delicious chickpea and avocado salad inside.
I tried it first with pita bread and then another time with Eureka organic bread. Eureka won. This is also good on lettuce leaves if you're having a no starch meal.
I like adding organic red pepper, sesame seeds (for extra protein), and for more fat burning fresh garlic, fresh turmeric root, and cumin.
