I prefer using the dry organic chickpeas; they need to stay in the water for at least 8 hours. Cooking time for the chickpeas is about 3 hours.
If you don't have time to cook, no worries you can always use organic chickpeas in a can.
In a large bowl put the chickpeas, the sliced fennel, the avocado, and the tomatoes. Aside prepare a vinaigrette with EVO, lemon juice, garlic and basil. I like the salad with a sprinkle of seeds.
To bring the salad at work, consider using a jar instead of a plastic container. #no plastic
