  • vegan butter (optional)
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 avocadoes
  • 1 bottle store-bought pesto

Instructions

  • Add the chickpeas and other ingredients to a food processor. Pulse a few times until you get a creamy texture.
  • Thinly slice your tomatoes and avocado.
  • Toast the bread until crispy. You can also slather some vegan butter before toasting for extra flavour.
