Quick & Delicious 15-Minute Chickpea Salad Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cans of chickpeas drainded
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise or any other mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- pinch sea salt
- Bread for making sandwiches
- one or two fists of a mix of green leaves for the sandwich* optional
- pickled jalapeños * optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, put the chickpeas (without the liquid) and mash them as much as you can until you get a texture that you like.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Test for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- Make the sandwiches and you’re done.
Notes
- I use whole wheat and whole grain bread for my sandwiches. I love a good loaf with nuts and seeds. This chickpea recipe salad is perfect for any bread, even no-knead bread.
- I prepare my own mayo at home with aquafaba. The store-bought vegan mayonnaise that I use is Vegenaise.
- If you are in a hurry, you can use your food processor to chop the vegetables faster. Pulse until you have everything chopped, but be careful not to do it over.
- You can make this chickpea recipe with canned or chickpeas cooked at home.
- When I cook chickpeas at home, I always cook more than I need. I keep the extra ones in tightly closed jars in the refrigerator or freezer bags in the freezer.

information
Nutritional information of this recipe is only an estimate, the accuracy for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
Smashing chickpeas a little with a spoon or with a bean masher is best.
It is good that they are textured but not completely whole. If you leave them whole, they can fly off the sandwich at the first bite, and we don’t want that.
