Ingredients
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup vegan mayo
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup red onion, chopped
- ⅓ cup celery, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place 1 can of chickpeas, ⅓ cup mayo, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ¼ cup chopped red onion, ⅓ cup chopped celery, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper into a food processor and pulse until incorporated and combined.
- You may have to stop the food processor a few times to scrape down the sides to make sure everything is combined, but please be careful not to over mix.
- Continue the process of pulsing until fully combined but the texture is still chunky or similar to tuna salad.
- Stop the food processor and remove the chickpea salad in a small bowl to serve. Spread the mixture evenly on a slice of toast, topped with spinach (or any green you prefer), and sliced tomato.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
