Fancy Chickpea Salad image

A cooking show called the Jazzy Vegetarian just started being broadcast in my area and this recipe caught my attention. This can be used as a main dish salad on a bed of greens or as a sandwich spread. Olives or pickles could be used instead of the capers. I thought it made a really tasty sandwich on whole wheat bread.

Time 15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup minced celery, with tops
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon capers, drained, rinsed and minced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 -4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise or 3 -4 tablespoons unsweetened vegan yogurt, plus more as needed
chopped scallion
thinly sliced radish
other herbs (dill, mustard, curry are all possibilities) or spices (dill, mustard, curry are all possibilities)

Steps:

  • Put the chickpeas/garbanzo beans into a medium mixing bowl and mash them up using a potato masher. They should have some texture. (I used 2 cups of homecooked garbanzos, and found that a sturdy fork worked better).
  • Add the celery, parsley, sea salt and cayenne and continue mashing to combine.
  • Stir in the capers and walnuts. (I did not use walnuts, but used scallions and radishes, just to add more crunch).
  • Stir in the vegan mayonnaise 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Chill for 2 to 6 hours. Serve as a sandwich spread or serve on a bed of greens, as a main dish luncheon salad.

I'm not a big fan of chickpeas, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is what makes it. It's tangy and flavorful, and it really complements the chickpeas and vegetables.

The chickpeas were a bit hard. I think they needed to be cooked for longer.

I found the dressing to be too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil or omitting it altogether.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

This salad is a great make-ahead lunch option. I made it on Sunday night and had it for lunch all week. It held up well in the refrigerator and still tasted fresh and delicious.
