Ingredients
Chickpea Salad
- 1 ½ cups chickpeas cooked
- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup finely chopped celery about 1 celery stalk
- ½ cup diced apple about 1 small apple
- 2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts
Dressing
- 4 full teaspoons tahini
- 3 Tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or to taste
Topping
- Avocado slices
- Tomato slices
Instructions
Lemon Tahini Dressing
- In a small bowl whisk the dressing ingredients together.
Chickpea Salad
- In a large bowl mash the chickpeas. I try not to leave any whole chickpeas, but halves are perfectly fine.
- Mix in the chopped onion, celery, walnuts and diced apple.
- Pour in the dressing using a spatula to scrape the bowl. Then fold it into the chickpea mix.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 min. Or if your impatient, like me, skip the chilling and eat it right away.
- Add the chickpea salad to your favorite toasted bread and top with avocado, tomato, salt and pepper.
