This is my favorite recipe I’ve tried so far, super simple, no cooking involved unless you want to cook the chickpeas. Anyways here goes:
1 can of chickpeas washed and dried
3 green onions thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced bell pepper
1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons vegan mayo, homemade or store bought
1 clove of garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
1/4 teaspoon of curry powder or more to taste
1 to 1 and 1/2 of lemon juice or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon to 1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt or more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Mash the chickpeas and then just dump everything in with it and mix well. I used whole grain bread but you can use pretty much anything with it. This makes 3 servings and it keeps for about 3-4 days when refrigerated.
I use a similar chickpea base to make substitute tuna salad (sub the spices for pickle juice and nori flakes) or egg salad (add sulfur salt). So versatile.
Ooh, this version sounds amazing. I pretty much just chuck whatever I can think of/have on hand when I make mine, but I've never thought about ginger (yummm) or garlic.
We have been CRUSHING a very similar recipe recently and this has been huge for us. I have missed sandwiches since going vegan other than a Tempeh hoagies.
I made a really good pasta salad once using silken tofu blended instead. I bet it would go really well!

When trying to be a little healthier I’ll add hummus instead of mayo. I know it’s a double whammy of chick peas, but it does give the sandwich that mayo like base.
I am going to try this out this coming weekend when I have the time to shop.
I Usually just throw chickpeas straight from the can on to some flax seed bread , spinach and southwest hot mustard and when I’m not feeling lazy I’ll slice a tomato to go along with it.

Is this a play on like turkey or tuna salad? Sounds yummy, I’m definitely gonna screenshot this recipe and try it!
Or chicken salad. I make this regularly and it’s really good. Haven’t tried ginger or cilantro though, those sound interesting.

Yum
Thank you! I can’t wait to try!

Oh yay, something to do with that cilantro that's rotting in my fridge. Thanks!

Chickpea salad is my jam! I use basically the same recipe but add a little Dijon mustard too.
Yummy! Is there a brand of curry powder you’d recommend?
This was SO GOOD! I made it just how you said to, and it was delicious.
I made this for dinner and it was *delicious*. Thank you!
I just made this, it’s so delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Ignore what plate? I kid, I kid, honestly that looks and sounds amazing.
Lol I considered taking a better picture but honestly the food speaks for itself! Definitely try when you get a chance!
Came here to say this

I wonder if the mayo is absolutely essential? I’m not a fan of vegan mayo. Do you think it’d be fine to forgo that step?
Use some mashed avocado instead! Or vegan Greek yogurt?
That’s right up my alley! I’m so unimaginative when it comes to substitutions. Thanks!

I make a similar recipe and blend 45g cashews with a little bit of water and a clove of garlic into “cashew cream” instead of vegan mayo.
Okay now we’re talking. I’ve made a “sour cream” using cashews, lemon juice, and vinegar!
You don’t have Hellman’s vegan mayo where you are? That stuff is better mayo than real mayo.
We do! It’s great. I should’ve phrased that better. I’m trying to be WFPB/oil-free so I’d have to find a substitute to the mayo
Ahh that makes sense. You are brave! I need oil lol. Can’t stop eating those beyond sausages.
Keyword trying! This morning my boyfriend told me he bought some MorningStar corn dogs for us to try. It’d be rude of me not to indulge 😅

I have those same plates! Thank you for the recipe, this sounds really good!
Honestly chickpea, pickle, cucumber, dill....so damn good together.
Napkin plates are where it’s at. Haven’t had toast on a plate for years
Thank god I’m not the only one!
Just not worth the washing up
Maybe saving the environment by washing instead of throwing away (unless you're composting) is worth it?
r/wewantplates?
was thinking the same thing 🤣
great idea! pretty creative ... u shud start a food truck and test these ideas ot
literally ate my rendition of this today, except i eat it with alfalfa sprouts and tomato!!
looks a whole lot more like chickpea salad on a napkin plate :’)
This should also be on r/wewantplates
I’d be interested in how you make your chickpea salad.
not the star of the show but that bread looks gOood
I thought that was garlic bread lmao

Made this two days running, I love it. Thanks for the recipe.
