Chickpea Salad

Looking for a replacement filling for tuna sandwiches? Then look no further. This will totally hit the spot. And if you’re not a sandwich fan, then this is also just great on its own. Ideal for packed lunches, or alongside other salads at dinner.

Method

Wash and drain the chickpeas and pour into a good-sized bowl
Add all other veggie ingredients to the bowl and mix well
Add a good squirt of mayo and mix. You may wish to add more after mixing – it really is a case of personal taste
Add a couple of shakes of the plum seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste
Mix well
Serve on its own, or between slices of crusty bread or toast… Add lettuce or arugula, tomato, even a slice of vegan cheese if you feel like it 🙂

This should last in the fridge for a day or two… Mine is usually all gone by the next day at the latest!
