Chorizo, chickpea and spinach salad

We spent the afternoon at the swimming pool, and came home completely knackered and starving. Luckily, you can make this in about 10 minutes.

Makes enough for three. You'll need:

chorizo sausage (a couple of hundred grammes should do - depends how chorizo mad you are)
a large avocado, peeled and sliced
half a small bag of spinach
a tin of chickpeas, drained

Slice the chorizo, and sling into a frying pan (you don't need to add any extra oil). Fry for 8-10 minutes or so, until it goes crispy and has released all its oil. Tip in the chickpeas, mix well so they're coated in the chorizo oil, and warm through.

Stick the spinach into a bowl, and scatter the avocado throughout. Tip in the warm chickpeas and chorizo, and gently mix together (the chorizo oil will coat the spinach, so there's no need for any extra dressing).

Season with lots of black pepper, and then decant into some bowls. We ate ours with some crusty bread. It disappeared very rapidly...
