Ingredients
-
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
-
1 cup minced celery, with tops
-
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
-
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
1 tablespoon capers, drained, rinsed and minced
-
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
-
3 -4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise or 3 -4 tablespoons unsweetened vegan yogurt, plus more as needed
-
thinly sliced radish
-
-
chopped scallion
Instructions
- Put the chickpeas/garbanzo beans into a medium mixing bowl and mash them up using a potato masher. They should have some texture. (I used 2 cups of homecooked garbanzos, and found that a sturdy fork worked better).
- Add the celery, parsley, sea salt and cayenne and continue mashing to combine.
- Stir in the capers and walnuts. (I did not use walnuts, but used scallions and radishes, just to add more crunch).
- Stir in the vegan mayonnaise 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Chill for 2 to 6 hours. Serve as a sandwich spread or serve on a bed of greens, as a main dish luncheon salad.
