Prepare Edamame, Avocado, Chickpea Mix

- Add avocado, drained chickpeas, green tomatoes, salt, and dijon mustard to a medium/large bowl. Taste and adjust amount of mustard to your preference.
- Add edamame to the bowl. Mine were in their shells still, so I microwaved them in their steamer bag and then shelled them into the bowl.
