Description
This simple Mashed Chickpea Salad is a great alternative to tuna salad and goes great in a sandwich, in a wrap, with veggies or crackers, or on its own.
Ingredients
1 400ml can of chickpea, strained, rinsed and dried
1 tbsp. dijon mustard
2 cloves of garlic, pressed or finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion or 1 small shallot
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
handful fresh dill, finely chopped
2 tbsp. vegan mayo
1/4 cup chopped pickle
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
dash of red chilli flakes
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS (OPTIONAL)
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 tbsp. chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
Instructions
For the salad, simply add everything to a large mixing bowl and combine using a pastry cutter or sharp tool that is easy for mashing. Mash just till half the mixture of choppy, you don’t want to make hummus. Place into the fridge to set once you’ve reached a tuna salad like consistency.
Honestly this is such a hidden gem! Incredibly tasty and you can use it in so many different ways (with some leafy greens as a salad, in a wrap or on a sandwich)! The pickles give the dish some nice crunch and a touch of sweetness! Also definitely check out Maria’s IGTV on this recipe! It’s a lot more fun to kinda cook with her than just follow the recipe ☺️

thank you so much, joe!
I hate chickpeas. I tried this with lentils, I know, weird but WOW! It worked! I’m going to try with firm pressed tofu next.

Oh wow, what a cool and unique way to spin this recipe!
This is going to be my new favourite lunch to make, I love it! Not surprised though, I love all of your recipes. I personally don’t like canned chickpeas so I cooked some from scratch and it’s SO GOOD.
