Loaded Chickpea Salad

Prep 15 mins

Total 15 mins

Author The Functional Nutritionist

Yield 3 Servings

This is similar to egg salad or tuna salad, but with chickpeas! Serve in a lightly steamed collard green, bib lettuce leaf, a wrap, or on top of a salad. This recipe is very flexible and forgiving! Add ingredients or spices that you may enjoy and create a whole new flavor!

Ingredients

  • 1- 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed1
  • ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard tablespoons store-bought or homemade mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoons of lemon juice (add a bit of zest if you like it lemony)
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped green onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • ¼ cup dill pickle, finely chopped (or 2-3 T of relish)
  • 2 teaspoon capers
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh dill (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon turmeric, celery seeds, smoked paprika, tahini, coconut aminos, jalapeno, avocado

Instructions

  1. Mash chickpeas in a large bowl with a fork or pulse in a food processor until chunky (to preference)
  2. Mix in the rest of the ingredients
  3. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
  4. Enjoy with celery, in a lettuce wrap, or as a sandwich!

Notes

Reduce or eliminate sea salt and capers to lower sodium level. I like Chosen Foods Coconut Oil Mayo, but you can also use a vegan mayo or make your own! I have substituted with a homemade cashew based mayo which works great as well. Any modifications will change the nutritional content listed.
