Chickpea Salad Recipe

Hey everyone! I'm a vegetarian and I've been for almost 2 years now. Since I've been a vegetarian I've been eating more chickpeas. Today I'm going to share you a salad that you can put on toast, a wrap just whatever you want to put it on or in. I honestly love this and I hope you do as well! Let's get started!











First you take your chickpeas and you put them in cold water until the next day. They should be about double the size like on the right picture above.
Then you will have to cook them on a medium heat for 1h30-2h, until they feel soft. Foam will form on top (mostly in the beginning) so you'll have to take it off. The water will also evaporate so you will have to check it a couple of times and add some if needed, which will probably be the case. You will probably have to add water about 3 times, definitely check because it may need more then 3. This is important because you don't want your chickpeas to burn!
Now that it's done cooking, pour the water out and rinse the chickpeas well. Little skins will come of you can throw them away or keep it in whatever you prefer, just rinse the chickpeas well. Once rinsed transfer them in a container, I directly put it in the one I'm going to keep it in.

Now what you need :

  • Chickpeas
  • Mayonnaise
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Fork






First you will crush the chickpeas with a fork until they are roughly broken. Big pieces can stay it's no problem and again these little skins will form you can take time to take them out, I just keep them in their, it doesn't bother me.







Now add about a tbsp of mayonnaise and mix it all around until it looks like this.






Then add the amount of salt and pepper that you want and your done! You can more or less, whatever you like. You can really do whatever you want.




It's done! It should look something like this! Now if you want you could add grated carrots in to this, or anything else you could thing of. The possibilities are endless. I like to keep it this way because I'm allergic to carrots so I keep it simple. Now let's put it on some toast and enjoy! 

You should try this out and enjoy it yourself! If you try this post pictures and tag me in it I would love to see it! I hope you enjoyed this post, if you did share it with everyone who would like this! As always follow my blog to get a notification when I post something new. 

Love Always,
