Instructions

  1. Avocado and Chickpea "Meatball": Put the cheese, zucchini, carrot and garlic in a blender or food processor and blend until the ingredients are well mixed. / Add the chickpeas and breadcrumbs to the blender. Purée until the mixture is smooth. / Add the egg, herb mix, salt and crushed red pepper flakes to the blender and process for approximately 20 seconds. / Use a tablespoon, small ice cream scoop, or your hands to shape the chickpea mix into ping-pong-size balls. Once shaped, drop each into an oiled mini-muffin pan; then, bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Alternately, if you prefer to cook on the stovetop, place the vegetable oil in a skillet and cook the chickpea "meatballs" over medium heat until they are uniformly crispy on the outside. The oven-cooked "meatballs" will have the consistency of a slightly crisp muffin, while the stove-cooked "meatballs" will have a nice crunchy outside. / Once cooked, place one "meatball" inside the well of the avocado half, where the seed rested.
  2. Green Goddess Dressing: Put all ingredients in the blender and pulse until creamy, smooth, and uniformly green. / Drizzle dressing evenly over avocado halves with “meatballs” and serve.
