Chickpea salad

Chickpea salad is a healthy way to save money and increase your fiber. My son who is a big meat eater loves this dish. It’s a low-cost version of chicken salad. Serve it on a bed of greens for additional health benefits.

Ingredients (use organic when possible)

  • 1/4 c chopped celery
  • 1/4 c chopped carrots
  • 1/8 c red onion or scallions (optional)
  • 1 can or 2 cups Chickpeas or china dal beans (cooked)
  • 2 tbsp Follow Your Heart Vegenaise to coat
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Sweet relish
  •  1 tsp fresh dill
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp coriander

Preparation:
Mash chickpeas with a fork or potato masher then add the remaining ingredients.  Mix and serve on lettuce, spinach, a gluten-free wrap, or with crackers.

A great on-the-go idea is to place a scoop in romaine or Chinese cabbage leaves and roll/wrap them. This makes them portable and no utensils are required.
