Chickpea Salad
- 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1/4 cup diced carrots
- 2 tbsp minced onion
- 2 tbsp greek yogurt
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp yellow mustard (optional)
Mix the carrots and onion in a bowl. In a separate bowl, add the chickpeas and mash with the back of a fork. Be careful not to mash too aggressively, you still want some whole chickpeas left. Add the chickpeas to the carrot mixture along with the greek yogurt, salt and pepper to taste, and a squirt of mustard if you like. Mix well and serve.
Notes:
- The greek yogurt can be subbed for mayonnaise (vegan or not), regular plain yogurt (vegan or not), or a combination of any of these.
- Add in spices to your hearts content here: curry, turmeric, garam masala is a great Indian combo. Dill tastes nice. A few pieces of minced seaweed can make this taste more like tuna salad. Sliced green onions can be tasty and colorful.
