Chickpea Chicken Salad

Total Time Prep: 20 min. + chilling

Yield 4 cups

This vegan chickpea "chicken" salad is inspired by traditional chicken salad but contains no meat. It's a protein-packed, plant-based lunch option that's flavorful enough to enjoy on its own (although it also tastes fantastic as a sandwich filling).

Ingredients

1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) no-salt-added garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped dill pickle
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together mayo, parsley, lemon juice, dill, Dijon, salt and pepper. Add chickpeas; smash lightly with the back of a fork. Stir in celery, pickle, red onion and green onion. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.
