Chickpea Salad

 I never was a fan of creamy animal-based salads.  You know the ones.  And I never really liked mayo on a sandwich either.  

But....one day I decided to try the chickpea salad at The Wild Cow restaurant in Nashville, and it was love at first taste.  I had it many times as a side item when we ate there, and was always disappointed when they had run out for the day. 

We don't visit  Nashville all that often, so I decided it was time to try and mimic their delicious dish.  

Ingredients:  cooked chickpeas, onion, celery, parsley, and dill.  Not pictured:  vegan mayo and salt.  Mash some of the chickpeas and mix in the mayo and salt to your taste.  




We like our chickpea salad served on toasted bread or a bagel, open-faced or as a sandwich.  You could serve it over lettuce or just as a side dish.  It's a nice, cool dish on a hot summer day!  






Your turn:  Where do you fall on the "yum" scale of vegan mayo-based dishes?  Any favorites?

This chickpea salad looks amazing. I've had a few since becoming vegan but I haven't tried making one. You have inspired me.
