  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Place the pita bread strips on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy. Set aside.

  • In a bowl, mix the leftover avocado with the chickpeas, tomatoes, olives, onion, and cucumber. Set aside.
  • For the vinaigrette, mix in a bowl the lemon juice with garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, mint, and basil. Emulsify with olive oil.
  • Incorporate the vinaigrette into the salad and fill the grilled avocados, serving with the pita strips.
