Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

1 medium celery rib, finely chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh leaf parsley

1/2 cup vegan or standard mayonnaise

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

4 whole wheat pitas, tops cut off, optional

Instructions

Coarsely mash the chickpeas, celery, shallots and parsley together with a potato masher or large fork in a medium bowl. Be careful not to overdo it or the chickpeas will become mushy.

Divide the salad, greens and tomato equally among the pitas and serve.
