Better-Than-Tuna, Chickpea Salad image

Inspired from the recipe in Vegan Table. "This recipe has all the flavor of the lunchtime staple but leaves the cholesterol, and mercury behind" I usually cut this recipe in HALF, and as you can see from the list of ingredients, that is quite easy to do! I also like to add dill pickle to mine, which I've listed below. Some chopped scallion might be nce too... ^_^

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 3 cups fresh beans from scratch)

1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
4 dill pickle spears, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Add the chickpeas to a food processor or blender and pulse to grind them down into small flaky pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and serve as a salad or sandwich filling.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or tuna. I often make a big batch of chicken or tuna salad on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this salad during the week.
