Curried Chickpea Salad

This plant-based, protein-packed recipe is jammed full of goodies that we often already keep around in the pantry and many can be replaced. My version of this recipe below can be altered in many ways depending on your dietary restrictions and flavor preferences.

Ingredients:

• 1 15 oz can of chickpeas drained and mashed with a fork

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (this can be adjusted for vegan, paleo, etc.)

• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

• 2 Tablespoons green onion

• 2 Tablespoons chopped pickles (sweet or dill will work)

• 1 Tablespoon dill weed (can replace with fresh cilantro or parsley)

• 1 Tablespoon curry powder (I love the Penzy’s brand)

• 1/4 cup chopped tart dried cherries (raisins work too)

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions:

Mix all ingredients and serve in lettuce cups, on rice crackers, or your favorite bread!
