Ingredients
Method
- Add the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl then use a potato masher or the back of a fork to smash 3/4 of them until mostly smooth.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl then stir thoroughly to combine.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning, adding more mayonnaise for creaminess or lemon juice for brightness as desired.
- Serve immediately with your choice of base, such as lettuce wraps or toast.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, ensure you mash at least three-quarters of the chickpeas, leaving some whole for texture. This creates a balance between smooth and chunky.
- If you prefer a bolder flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the mix. It adds a subtle depth that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
- Storage: Leftover chickpea salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's excellent for meal prep and often tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
