1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, crushed with fork
1 cup romaine lettuce, finely chopped
1 white or 1/2 red onion, diced
1 (4-ounce) bunch basil, minced
1 roasted red bell pepper, diced
1/2 empire apple, diced
1/2 tomato, diced
1/4 green bell pepper, diced
1 green onion, diced
3 to 4 tablespoons plain apple sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1. In a bowl, combine chickpeas, lettuce, white onion, basil, red bell pepper, apple, tomato, bell pepper, and green onion; mix thoroughly.
2. Add the apple sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, and mustard; mix until everything is combined. If mixture is too dry, add more applesauce, lemon juice, or olive oil until it does. (It should stick together pretty well, like traditional chicken salad made with mayo.)
Source of recipe: I decided that i needed to use up a lot of things in my kitchen, and knew that chickpeas smelled chicken-y... and here we are. This recipie is vegan, without any store bought "fake meats". It is also raw.
