Chickpea Salad

This chickpea salad is one of my favorite vegan or meatless recipes! It’s flavorful, protein and fiber packed and completely delicious. The filling can be used in a wrap or a sandwich or eaten on it’s own.

This recipe takes about 5 minutes to make so it’s great for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It will store in the refrigerator for 1-3 days. It’s great to pack and bring to work for lunch. It will also keep you full and satisfied if eaten for lunch.

When I was a kid I hated garbanzo beans, or chickpeas as they are more commonly called now. I just thought they were too dry. Now I love them and use them in lots of different recipes, including my homemade chickpea pasta RECIPE HERE, which is one of my favorite recipes. Isn’t it funny how tastes buds mature.

What you need to make chickpea salad:

Serves 2

  • 1 – 15 ounce can garbanzo beans – drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup celery – diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions
  • 1 tablespoon pickles – diced
  • (Optional) 1/4 sheet of nori – thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise – if not making vegan then use regular mayo.
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • dash black pepper
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  1. Add garbanzo beans, celery, green onions, pickles, optional nori sheet (it just adds a little extra to the mix but isn’t necessary) mayonnaise, vinegar, black pepper and salt and stir together.
  2. Serve over your favorite bread or in a wrap.
