Curried chickpea salad brings hearty chickpeas together with crunchy celery, sweet red pepper, green onion, and juicy mango. Then, we toss our chickpea salad blend in a creamy, fragrant dressing. We love serving this quick and easy salad in whole grain wraps or lettuce cups.
How To Make This Recipe
While we have a few ingredients in this dish, it comes together in a snap. It all starts with a can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed. To this, we’ll add celery, green onion, mango, red pepper, vegan mayo, lime juice, and curry powder. When we don’t have fresh mango handy, we often swap in a tablespoon of mango chutney.
Prepare Salad
We begin by whisking together our vegan mayo, lime juice, and curry powder in a small bowl. Then, we set the dressing aside and prepare our chickpea blend.
Next, we pour our chickpeas into a large mixing bowl. Then, we mash them lightly with a fork. We like to leave a few chickpeas whole for texture. Once our chickpeas are mashed, we mix in the celery, mango, and red pepper. Once our chickpea blend is ready, we gently fold in our dressing and season to taste.
Ready To Serve
And, just like that, we’re ready to serve! Enjoy this curried chickpea salad in whole wheat wraps or scooped into lettuce cups.
