Recipe: Vegan or Vegetarian Curried ‘Egg’ Salad {This Mashed Chickpea Salad Is Perfect In Sandwiches!}

• 1 (400g) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 ribs of celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 small red apple, finely chopped
• 1 tblsp lemon juice
• 1/2 bunch spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• Handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup mayo (vegan or regular)
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2 tsp curry powder, more or less to taste

• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

1. Add the apple & lemon to a medium mixing bowl and toss. Add the celery, spring onion, carrot and parsley. Tip for the lazy: Use the food processor to grate the carrots too.
2. Add the chickpeas to a food processor and pulse a few times until blended but the mixture still has somewhat chunky texture. If you are not into heavy artillery, you can just mash them with a potato masher.
3. Add the chickpea mixture to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Add the curry powder and mayo, mix well combined. Adjust the curry powder, salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
