Chickpea “Chicken” Salad
The other night I was looking for this mock chicken salad at whole foods. Sadly they didn't carry it so I decided to make my own. Seriously, it is my new favorite food! I even packed it for lunch tomorrow and I do not eat leftovers for lunch like ever! It is so easy to make you have got to try it!
Ingredients:
1 can
chickpeas – reduced sodium
5 tablespoons
veganise or earth balance (vegan mayo – can be found at whole foods)
2 tablespoons Dijon
mustard
5 celery
stalks – stems removed
1/6th
of a sweet onion
1 tablespoon
onion powder
1 tablespoon
ground black pepper
¾ tablespoon
kosher salt
2 tablespoons
paprika
Sprinkle of
mustard powder
Option- grapes
Directions:
Rinse and drain
chickpeas. Heat the chickpeas in boiling water on the stove for 3 minutes and
drain.
In a food processor, chop
the onion and celery.
In a large bowl add;
onions, celery, veganise or mayo of choice, mustard, and seasonings. Add the
chickpeas and use a masher to smash some of them (keep about ¾
of the chickpeas whole). Stir and season to taste.
Can be served on top of
toasted bread or a bed of lettuce.
This was sooooo delicious. I packed it for my lunch too! Kirby is quite the little inventive cooker!
