Bowl of creamy chickpea salad

A yummy refreshing salad is a great accompaniment to take to any summer BBQ. This Vegan recipe is creamy, filling, and flavour packed. Sure to be a hit with everyone, it is hearty enough to be a main or served as a side to some yummy vegan sausages or tofu & veggie kebabs.

Ingredients

  • 1 x can chickpeas (drained & rinsed)
  • 1 x cup frozen peas
  • 4 x med/large or 6 x small shallots (sliced)
  • A small handful of fresh mint (adjust to taste)

Creamy dressing:

  • 2/3 cup raw natural cashews (soaked overnight)
  • Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp mustard (I used whole grain, but use whatever type you prefer)

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Method

  1. Add ingredients for creamy dressing and 1/4 cup water to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Add chickpeas to a bowl. At this stage, you can either mash them or leave them whole depending on your preferred texture or how much time you have available.
  3. Add peas, shallots, mint, and creamy dressing. Mix.
  4. Best served chilled.
