Actually when we say Persian food we do not understand healthy lifestyle just because Persian food is really rich in fried vegetables and in fried meat. However this salad is absolutely a healthy lifestyle promoter. It is rich in vegetables and is no harm to your body weight. This can be a perfect breakfast, dinner and supper, anything you like. It is super light and rich in vitamins, and that’s the reason why we love it so much.

3-4 scallions
2 or 3 limes or lemons
4 tablespoon of olive oil
A pinch of sugar or a little bit of honey
Sea salt and black pepper

So for the first take a large bowl and peel the cucumber. Then cut them into small cubes. Then wash the cherry tomatoes, wash them carefully and chop into half. Wash the scallions and cut them into small parts. Take lemons, wash them and take the juice out of them. Add the lemon or lime juice to the salad. Then add the olive oil and a pinch of sugar or a little bit of honey. Cook the chickpeas and leave them to cool off. Once they are cooled off add them to the mass you have and add sea salt, black pepper and avocadoes.
