  2. Chop the avocado into very small cubes. Set aside.
  3. Peel the cucumber, and slice it lengthwise. Scoop out the inner seeds. Finely dice and set aside.

  5. Place eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for 20 minutes. Drain the eggs, add cold water and let sit for 10 minutes.
  6. Place chickpeas in a food processor.  Pulse lightly.
  7. Take eggs out of the cold water.  Peel eggs.  Chop into very small cubes.
