Ingredients
- 1 can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- Celery
- carrot
- green onion
- sweet jerkins
- Mayonnaise
- Dijon mustard
- garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
How to
Begin by mashing up the chickpeas.
This can be done with a potato masher, the back of a fork, or in a food processor. I put mine in a food processor as it’s quick and I am typically double batching this recipe. I also use it to shred the carrots to use in this recipe and others.
Food processor method
If using a food processor. Pulse about 4 or 5 to chop the chickpeas. If you let it go too long, it will end up puréeing the chickpeas which do not want. You want a chopped-up texture that looks similar to tuna salad or chicken salad.
Combine beans and veggies
In a medium mixing bowl, add chopped up chickpeas and vegetables. Stir to combine.
Make dressing
In a small mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Stir to combine.
Put it together
Add mayonnaise mixture to chickpeas mixture. Stir to combine.
Final product
Add Chickpea Salad to a wrap, sandwich, on a salad, or on crackers for a hearty snack!
Enjoy!
