Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Sandwich

I've definitely gotten back on the avocado lovers train.  After feeling sick one time I ate too much, as I mentioned briefly before, I thought I'd never be able to really enjoy avocados again.  After the avocado chocolate mousse, though, I decided I ought to keep the fridge stocked with avocados.  After seeing Maria over at Two Peas & Their Pod rave time and time again about this smashed chickpea and avocado salad sandwich, I knew it was something I had to try.  I love chickpeas, I was starting to love avocados again, and it included scallions.  I forgot how much I love scallions.

Scallions are something we don't often have in the apartment (although that's surely going to change now), but it was something I grew up eating, mostly during visits to my grandma's house.  My grandma and pap have always had green onions in the garden, and we would eat them alongside sandwiches at lunch time.  When I was younger, I always thought it was neat that we were eating raw onions whole.  I always did like the idea of eating things raw right from the garden, be it peppers, green beans, or even sour grass from the yard.  If there were fruits, they would not be safe from me for long; the blueberry bush is still one of my favorite things about summertime at my grandma's house.
