Ingredients
chickpea salad:
- 1 can chickpeas (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup vegan mayonaise (such as Hampton Creek Just Mayo)
- 1/3 cup walnut pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (packed)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon peel, grated

- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
For serving:
- whole grain bread (vegan)

Instructions

Combine chickpeas and mayonaise and mash slightly. (I like to keep some of the chickpeas whole for texture.) Stir in walnuts, parsley, cranberries, lemon peel, lemon juice, and cayenne (if using).
-
Serve on whole grain bread with baby spinach and sliced onion.
