DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook orzo according to package instructions.  Drain, transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt and pepper.  Toss well to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Using a whisk, slowly pour in olive and avocado oils while stirring constantly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Toss orzo with ½ cup of dressing. Divide orzo evenly into bowls and top with chicken, cucumber, avocado, roasted chickpeas and pine nuts. Serve the remaining dressing on side for drizzling.
