Curried Chickpea Salad

• doses: 3 servings
• tempo ativo: 15 minutes
• tempo total: 15 minutes

Ingredientes

1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 small lemon (juice)

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Pinch of black pepper

1 clove garlic

Salt (to taste)

1 15-ounce can chickpeas (1 1/2 cups cooked), drained and rinsed)

1/2 cup finely diced celery

1/4 cup finely diced red onion

2 green onion (thinly sliced)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)

Instruções

Make the dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), and black pepper in a medium bowl. Press or grate the garlic into the bowl and mix to combine. Add water to thin as desired. Season with salt to taste.

Optional: Rub the chickpeas between the layers of a kitchen or paper towel to remove the skins. This makes them easier to mash.

Partially mash the chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. (Aim for about three-quarters mashed.)

Mix: Transfer the mashed chickpeas, celery, red onion, green onion, and cilantro to a large bowl. Add the desired amount of dressing and mix to combine.

For serving: Make curried chickpea salad sandwiches, lettuce wraps, stuffed pita pockets, or serve with whole grain crackers for a healthy snack.
