Chickpea Salad With Fresh Herbs and Scallions image

A lighter, easier take on classic American potato salad, this version uses canned chickpeas in place of potatoes and favors Greek yogurt over mayonnaise. The trick to achieving the creamy texture of traditional potato salad is to mash some of the chickpeas lightly with a fork. It travels well, so it deserves a spot at your next picnic or desk lunch.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
3 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup finely diced celery (about 3 stalks)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (2 to 3 scallions)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth, then add the dill and parsley and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and using a fork, lightly mash about 1/3 of them. Add the celery and scallions and toss.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad, toss well, and set aside at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with more dill and parsley and serve. (If you're not serving the dish immediately, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.)

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very filling.

This salad is way too expensive to make. I can't believe how much the ingredients cost.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much dressing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. I think I might have used the wrong type of chickpeas.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it really masks the taste of the chickpeas.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of herbs in my fridge, so this salad is a lifesaver.

This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a bit of feta cheese and kalamata olives.
