MAKE A CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH YOU WILL LOVE

Kathy enjoys creamy salads – and pre-vegan she loved taking leftover chicken and making a salad with mayo and crunchy veggies – like carrots and celery. Fast forward to her now better and healthier vegan lifestyle (and wanting to eat less processed stuff), she used chickpeas and tahini (sesame paste) instead of processed vegan items for this recipe – and it turned out perfectly.

Creamy and tangy with just the right amount of dill. This chickpea salad will be your go-to for vegan lunches, appetizer sandwiches, or just a tasty make-a-head creamy salad. If you love chickpeas and dill – this chickpea dill salad is sure to become a favorite of yours.

Ingredients

  

• 2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup celery finely diced
• 1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
• 1 cup cucumber finely diced, (if your cucumber is very seedy scrape out seeds with a spoon)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley minced
• 1/4 cup dill pickle finely diced
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/16 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 3/4-1 cup tahini paste enough to create a thick creamy dressing***

Instructions

 

• I large bowl mash chickpeas with a potato masher or a fork until desired consistency/texture
• Add celery, onions, cucumbers, parsley, pickle, dill, set aside
• In small bowl (or 1 cup+ measuring cup) measure lemon juice, dijon, and garlic. Add tahini until you reach about 1 1/4 cup or you have a nice creamy dressing that is thick enough to coat your beans and veggies.
• Mix dressing in with beans and veggies.
• Serve on bread, pita, crackers, or atop a fresh green salad (this could also be a perfect lettuce wrap filling).

Notes

*Tahini will thicken as liquid is added, so continue to stir until you reach desired consistency. 

***due to variations in tahini, the amount of tahini is estimated around 3/4-1 cup.  The dressing and salad work best when the tahini is a little thick so it evenly coats the veggies.  To loosen the salad the next day, a quick squeeze of lemon will do.
