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.
