SO HOW'D IT GO?
I just finished eating this, and it was REALLY good. I was going to be extra lazy and just eat soymilk and cereal for dinner, but im glad i wasn't! i added some cayenne pepper and used celery instead. also, i added some chopped up carrot and tumeric. sorry theres no picture, it didnt last long enough.
I've reviewed this before and I can't say enough how easy this is to make and very delicious too! I've adaptedthe recipe to my taste and wanted to share. I use the can of chickpeas and mash them and add 2 ribs of celery chopped, 2 scallions chopped, 1/2 green pepper chopped, vegenaise, some lemon juice, some garlic powder and onion powder, salt and pepper and a squirt or two of mustard. You'll notice that is a lot of celery but it adds such a nice crunch. It's so good that I make this at least once a week!
this is awesome!!! Great texture and flavor....i have a stash of chickpeas now for when i crave this (which is about every other day!)
this was a fantastic inspiration to me! i made two versions of this tonight. each with a different flavor profile. one was curry, the other was fresh-springy-veggies. thanks!
Holy cow! I stand corrected...this DOES taste a bit like chicken salad! However, the texture is much better than what I remember chicken to be like. I used one green onion, a medium stalk of celery and added a 1/4 tsp of Spike and a dash of red pepper flakes instead of salt and pepper. I will be making this very often!
This sounds like a great recipe, especially since I often have all those ingredients on hand. It'll be the perfect meal for this evening because my husband won't be home (he's not much into the chick peas). I bet this would be great with a little sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds!
However, I can't imagine that this would taste anything like chicken salad. On the other hand, that's a good thing. The reason I stopped eating chicken was because I didn't really like it!
this was really good, but tasted nothing like chicken salad.
anyhow, it was very tasty and I liked it alot.
I added red peppers instead of green, green onions, a little bit of curry powder and 1/2 of a finally chopped apple. i will definitely make it again!
I like this a lot. I used lots of vegenaise and celery and used red pepper instead of green. I also added some garlic powder to it.
sounds really simple... will try :D
Thanks again for this- I'm getting creative with it and I have it for lunch every day!
