5-6 mint leaves
1 lime
¼ tsp salt add salt to taste
3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

Instructions

Rinse and drain chickpeas.
Chop lettuce in thin stripes. Wash and peel cucumber in stripes. Slice cucumber and set aside.
Clean green onions by chopping their top off, remove an outer layer then slice. Put mint leaves together and chop them in very small pieces too.
Get a medium glass bowl. Add chickpeas, lettuce, sliced cucumber, mint, green onions in the bowl. Cut the avocados and remove the seed, dice the avocados and add them to the bowl too. Add salt and then squeeze a lime over all the ingredients.
Use the salad tongs to toss everything together. You can chill the salad at this point if you're not ready to serve. When ready to serve, drizzle olive oil over tossed ingredients.
Serve in individual plates. Add a burrata cheese ball on each plate and garnish with mint leaves. Enjoy:)
