Chickpea Salad

Chickpea Salad is a great lunch, snack or meal option because it's a healthy, full-of-fiber snack that will keep you full.  I love to put these on whole grain crackers or wrapped in dark leafy greens like a tortilla.

Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 head celery, sliced thin
• 6 scallions, white parts sliced thin
• 2 cloves garlic minced

• 2-4 TBS dijon mustard (to taste - start with 2 TBS and add more if desired)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mash the beans with your hands or a potato masher.
2. Add in celery, scallions, garlic and red bell pepper, then stir to combine.
3. Add in lemon juice, olive oil, dijon and s+p, add more to taste.
4. Serve with whole grain crackers, in a sandwich, rolled with swiss chard or on its own.
