Instructions

Place the chickpeas in a large bowl. Use a potato masher to smash about half of the chickpeas.
Add in the shallot, cherries, pecans, parsley, a big pinch of salt and pepper and the nutmeg.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vinegar, mustard and lemon juice. Add the wet ingredients to the chickpea mixture and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
Eat the salad as you wish! On toast, on salad, in lettuce wraps, on crackers, etc. This stays great in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
