Ingredients
-
1- 19 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
-
1/3 cup red onion, diced small (or sub green onions)
-
1/3 to 1/2 cup pickled pepper rings, chopped (hot & spicy or mild)
-
1 celery rib, diced
-
1 apple, cored and chopped
-
1/4 cup roasted and salted cashews, chopped* (optional)
-
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
-
1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
-
1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise (see notes*)
-
2 tablespoons mango chutney
-
1 and 1/2 to 2 teaspoons curry powder
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon pickled pepper brine
For serving:
-
4 to 6 large flour tortillas, regular or gluten free
-
Spinach, mixed greens, or sprouts
-
grated carrots or fresh grated beets (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly mashed (leave some whole for texture). Add the onion, pickled peppers, celery, apple, nuts, cilantro and cranberries.
- In a small bowl stir together the mayo, chutney, curry powder, lemon juice and pickled pepper brine to make the curry dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and adjust any flavorings, curry powder, lemon juice, etc,... (can cover and refrigerate to chill and mingle flavors)
- Divide curry salad mix between tortillas, top with spinach and/or carrots, beets (optional). Roll up burrito style. Can also add the mix to bread slices for sandwiches or serve on lightly dressed greens (balsamic & olive oil) or dollop on halved avocados. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cashews: Can sub sunflower seeds and/or pepitas for cashews (nut free)- all optional!
- Peppers: Can use mild pickled peppers but I like the sweet and spicy contrast.
- Apple: can sub fresh chopped mango!
- For oil free: use my oil free vegan mayonnaise or sub vegan yogurt.
- Store: the salad will keep in an air tight container for 4-5 days.
