Chickpea Salad Wrap

From Oh She Glows, by Angela Liddon.

Ann: I think Travis ate more of this than I did! I tried it in a wrap and in pita bread, both terrific lunch options.

Yield: 3 servings
Ingredients:
  • 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas (or 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tbsp chopped red onion
  • 3 tbsp chopped dill pickle (~1 pickle)
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh dill
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp regular mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds (or pecans/walnuts)
  • salt/herbamare and pepper, to taste
1. Preheat oven to 325F and toast the sunflower seeds for about 11 minutes.
2. Mix everything into a bowl, mashing up the chickpeas slightly with a fork, and season with salt (I used Herbamare) and pepper, to taste. Stuff into a wrap or pita, or enjoy with crackers or rice cakes.

  2. Good question. I've been using chickpeas a lot lately in all kinds of things. I really do like this salad wrap. I've made it a couple of times now and it hits the spot. Especially when it is already made and waiting for me when I get home from the gym starving.
