Curried Chickpea Salad

If you’re any bit like me, the thing you miss most about your pre-vegan days is easy + quick lunches. I used to love having a deli sandwich for lunch because they were so easy and you did not have to cook anything.

Good news, there’s a vegan solution for everything. This curried chickpea salad is creamy, crunchy, healthy, and packed full of turmeric. Turmeric is believed to have anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

INgredients

  • 14.5 oz can of chickpeas

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp vegan mayo

  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds

  • 1/4 tsp curry

  • 2 tbsp garlic

  • 1/2 tsp Curcuma golden paste

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Combine chickpeas and mayo in a bowl. Smash with a fork until desired consistency. I like it to be somewhat smashed, still chunky but not runny.
  • Add the chopped onion and celery and mix. 
  • Add the seasonings and chopped almonds and stir until combined. 
  • Salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Serve on your favorite bread and top with more chopped onions, tomato, and lettuce! You can also serve over a bed of lettuce if you want to skip out on the bread! Enjoy!
