SO HOW'D IT GO?
I really like this recipe, I used celery and green onions with apple and walnuts, dill and s&p and the mayo and mustard- on homemade ww bread with lettuce and tomato and a pickle on the side, very nice. I will be making this often
I thought this would be delicious, though didn't believe it would actually taste like chicken salad... but it kinda does! I used celery instead of green pepper and onion, and added a bit of garlic powder. Very easy, quick, and yummy. I made a double batch for chickenless salad sandwiches =)
This was deelicious but i made some adjustments, actually i kind of re-did the recipe to make it taste like the chicken salad that's at this little deli in town.
1/2 cup mayonaise
1 can of chickpeas
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 apple
3 stalks celery
Paparika
Salt
I followed the recipe as it says but i just added in my own thing because i don't like peppers=/ But thank you for the recipe, everything was perfect and i never thought chickpeas could taste so good :)>>>
This was amazing. Everyone at work wanted the recipe. I added tumeric and pickles to mine
woohoo! this is great. i used 2 stalks of celery and 1/4 red onion and a little bit of reg onion, served over lettuce. next time: as sandwiches with slices of tomato...can't wait.
I absolutely love this! :) I made it just like the recipe, super! And the next time (yes, every week now!) I added 2 chopped dill pickles, 1 tsp prepared mustard, increased Veganaise by another 1/4 cup (because more veg in it), and 2 tsp. chopped pimientos. Ground pepper and sea salt to taste. Had it on a pita, with thick slices of tomato, thin slice red onion, and 2 romaine leaves. Not ONLY was it beautiful looking, it was killer to eat!!! Everyone in my house now is enjoying this.
@lbarte and @VeganRun , thank you both.
I'm seconding the pound of dried beans equals about 4 cans. You can make the whole pound and freeze what you don't use.
Canned chickpeas are already cooked. I'm just guessing, but a pound of dry cihckpeas would probably make about 4 cans' worth. For recipes like these I prefer to used canned. Anyways, you need to soak them at least 6 hours or overnight and then discard the soaking water. Then add new water and bring them to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for an hour or so until tender. For this recipe, you really need to cool them before using. There should be instructions on the bag as well.
I have a 1 pound bag of chickpeas, how do I get them ready to mash? Are the canned chickpeas already precooked? I am new to all this.
