Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse and drain chickpeas well. Place in a large bowl and mash. (I use a potato masher.)
  2. Finely dice celery and red onion. Roughly chop cilantro. Add to bowl.
  3. Add all remaining salad ingredients. Then stir well to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust flavors if needed. Add salt & pepper, more curry powder, mayo, or lime juice. (Grapes and cashews are fantastic additions!)
  5. Enjoy the salad as is, in a sandwich or wrap, on a bed of fresh greens, or as a dip with crackers.
