SO HOW'D IT GO?
Very yummy! I added raisins into mine for a sweet contrast point. :)
So yummy, so simple! What a great recipe. I chopped up some celery, red bell pepper, scallion, and garlic to throw in it as well, along with a teaspoon or so of apple cider vinegar and some curry power and yellow mustard. I found I didn't need very much vegenaise either because the chickpeas are moist, which I like, as that was one of my complaints with actual chicken or tuna salad, how much it tasted of mayo.
My toddler didn't go for it really, but I think that had more to do with holding out for the Goddess Bars chilling in the fridge than not liking the recipe. My man and I grubbed it up in tortillas and on hemp bread with sprouts, lettuce and a little more mustard (we really like mustard). Definitely will become a weekly staple at our house. Thanks!
Pretty darn good. ;)b I think you should call this recipe Mock Tuna Salad because the chickpeas has a fishy smell to them which I never really noticed before.
I used one-third of a celery stalk instead of the green pepper. I also used Vegenaise since it taste much better than Nasoyannaise. I ate the whole thing with low-carb fiber crackers.
Thanks.
so SO good. i added some mustard, dill and tumeric to mine and it was delicious. and super easy. just the way i like it.
Very good recipe! I added celery salt instead of salt and 2 handfuls of both green bell pepper and red onion... turned out perfect thank u so much! :)>>>
This is very tasty and would go well in sandwiches or wraps, but I wouldnt say it tastes like chicken salad because it doesn't. Not at all. But it is good.
easy..delicious...great recipe. I opted for celery over peppers, omitted the onion and added a bit of sweet relish. I also used Veg-e-Sal in lieu of salt. This is one of those great finds. Very affordable and a snap to whip up. Thanks!
I was verrry skeptical of this recipe because I'm not really a fan of chickpeas. But it's delish!! I added red peppers and celery and just a little bit of garlic powder. Yummo! Will be lunch for the next few days and definitely thereafter! Thank you so much!
I have to say that I was hesitant also about it tasting like real chicken salad, but it does!!! I made it like I have in the past using celery and tossing in some red grapes, raisins, curry and/or apple. Sometimes I'd prob drizzle a bit of raw agave in, depending on what I have on hand in the fruit dept. Its awesome. Now I won't have to miss the real thing anymore! Even hubby likes it a lot.
This is one of my all time favorite 'go-to's'. I make it whenever I am in too much of a hurry or when I am just feeling too lazy to cook. I switch the seasonings and added veggies around alot...it all depends on what I have on hand. I like to make a little extra too, to I can have some the next day because I think it tastes better after it sits a bit.
