Our Favorite Chickpea Salad Sandwich
A delicious vegetarian alternative to regular chicken salad, that's packed with nutrients and tons of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can or box of chickpeas drained
- 1 red apple roughly chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 2 celery stalks sliced into 1 inch pieces
- 1 small carrot sliced into 1 inch pieces
- 2 heaping tablespoon mayo or vegan mayo
- 2 tablespoon horseradish
- 2 tablespoon capers rinsed and drained
- pinch coarse salt
- pinch pepper
- suggested: fresh whole grain bread arugula to make the sandwich
Instructions
- Place the apple, celery and carrot into a food processor. Pulse until all the pieces are broken up into large bits.
- Add the chickpeas, horseradish,mayo salt and pepper and pulse again until broken up but NOT pureed. You want some chucky pieces to remain.
- Transfer the chickpea salad to a large bowl.
- Toss in the capers and stir into salad (you don't want to pulse the capers in with the other ingredients because it looks and tastes more pleasant whole).
- Place a few spoonfuls on bread and top with fresh greens.
Notes
Since there are many different types of bread, these calculations are represent the chickpea salad only.
