A delightful and easy-to-make chickpea salad perfect for wraps or sandwiches, packed with flavor and nutrition.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas in a colander.
Rinsing the chickpeas helps remove excess sodium and improves their flavor.
Mash the chickpeas in a mixing bowl using a potato masher until they reach your desired consistency.
For a chunkier texture, mash lightly; for a smoother texture, mash thoroughly.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, juice of the lemon, chopped green onion, chopped celery, and smoked paprika to the mashed chickpeas.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Mix everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding salt or pepper to your preference.
Serve the chickpea salad in wraps, sandwiches, or as a dip with crackers.
For a refreshing touch, add some lettuce or sliced tomatoes to your wraps.
