We’ve all heard of tuna salad and chicken salad, but what about chickpea salad?
Completely plant-based and loaded with the protein you expect from traditional creamy salads, this Creamy Chickpea Salad makes the perfect prep-ahead dinner or snack to pair with bread or crackers. I’d even eat it with a spoon!
Creamy Chickpea Salad
Prep time: 5min Total time: 5min
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2 14.5 oz. cans Heinen's chickpeas, drained
- 1 celery rib, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, minced
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tsp. Heinen's Dijon mustard
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas 10-20 times, or until finely chopped, but not pureed. You want texture!

- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve on toasted hearty whole grain bread or with fruit and crackers.
Prepping Ahead? You can prep the creamy chickpea salad up to four days in advance. Keep tightly covered in the fridge.
