Better than Egg Salad

Before giving up animal-based foods, I used to love egg salad sandwiches. The soft, smooth, rich, creamy texture of the hard boiled eggs all mashed up in mayonnaise with crunchy pieces of diced celery and onions between two slices of bread was so tasty and satisfying. One of the many foods I used to eat that’s now buried in my past.

And then, I came across something even better: chickpea salad! Now, I know that may not sound very exciting, but if you like foods that are creamy, rich, and satisfying, you are going to love this! The chickpeas are mashed and mixed with hummus and other ingredients into an amazingly great tasting and filling salad! Making it into a sandwich with mashed avocado is absolutely heavenly! And the best part is that unlike egg salad, chickpea salad has no cholesterol or saturated fat!

Enjoy the chickpea salad in a sandwich, over a bed of lettuce or leafy greens, as a spread on whole grain crackers, wrapped in a tortilla or collard greens or as a dip. You can find the recipe here.
