Fancy Chickpea Salad
A cooking show called the jazzy vegetarian just started being broadcast in my area and this recipe caught my attention. This can be used as a main dish salad on a bed of greens or as a sandwich spread. Olives or pickles could be used instead of the capers. I thought it made a really tasty sandwich on whole wheat bread.
Steps
Put the chickpeas / garbanzo beans into a medium mixing bowl and mash them up using a potato masher.
They should have some texture.
Add the celery , parsley , sea salt and cayenne and continue mashing to combine.
Stir in the capers and walnuts.
Stir in the vegan mayonnaise 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Chill for 2 to 6 hours.
Serve as a sandwich spread or serve on a bed of greens , as a main dish luncheon salad.
