Chickpea Salad

CHICKPEA SALAD

By Clea Grady of Veganuary

Looking for a replacement filling for tuna sandwiches? Then look no further. This will totally hit the spot. And if you're not a sandwich fan, then this is also just great on it's own. Ideal for packed lunches, or alongside other salads at dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of chickpeas

  • 1 carrot (large) grated

  • 2 stalks of spring onion, finely chopped

  • Half a small red onion, finely chopped

  • 2/3 big gherkins, chopped

  • Vegan mayo

  • Japanese Ume Plum Seasoning (just a few shakes... I use the Clearspring brand)

  • Salt and cracked pepper to taste

Instructions:

  • Wash and drain the chickpeas and pour into a good sized bowl.

  • Add all other veggie ingredients to the bowl and mix well.

  • Add a good squirt of mayo and mix. You may wish to add more after mixing – it really is a case of personal taste.

  • Add a couple shakes of the plum seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

  • Serve on its own, or between slices of crusty bread or sliced bread toast. Add lettuce or rocket, tomato, even a slice of cheese if you feel like it.
