RECIPE: Chick Pea Salad

Want a REALLY quick lunch that is also healthy? Vegan? Plant-Based? Engine 2?


Chick Pea Salad

1 1/4 cup chick peas (garbanzo beans)
3-4 Tablespoons low fat, or no fat vegan mayonnaise (I'm partial to this recipe: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2012/04/tofu-cashew-mayonnaise.html )
3 Tablespoons dill pickle, diced
2 Tablespoons sweet onion, diced

Place the chick peas in a bowl and mash slightly with a fork (this makes it easier to spread on a sandwich) Mix in the rest of the ingredients, season with black pepper - Voila! You've got lunch!

Toast a few slices of whole grain bread, add some lettuce leaves and it just took you less than 10 minutes to make a hearty light meal.


Peace.
