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.
