Better-Than-Tuna, Chickpea Salad

"Inspired from the recipe in Vegan Table. "This recipe has all the flavor of the lunchtime staple but leaves the cholesterol, and mercury behind" I usually cut this recipe in HALF, and as you can see from the list of ingredients, that is quite easy to do! I also like to add dill pickle to mine, which I've listed below. Some chopped scallion might be nce too... ^_^"

  1. Really liked how this turned out. Left out the red pepper and walnuts (didn't have them on hand), and added red onion. Lots of freshly ground black pepper, and kosher salt. Tastes great, and even better the next day!
     
  2. Great salad with lots of veggies! I quartered the recipe and it made two meals for me. I ate as a salad but would be great in a sandwich or with chips or on crackers. I chopped the carrots, celery, walnuts and bell pepper in the food processor. I didn't have dill pickles, so used bread and butter pickles. Thanks for a yummy lunch! Made for the vegetarian swap-Oct. 2011.
