Ingredients
Scale
Chickpea Salad
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- ½ cup diced cucumber
- ½ avocado, diced
- ¼ cup diced celery
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
Wraps
- 4 large lettuce leaves or tortilla wraps
Instructions
- Mash Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down but still slightly chunky to provide texture.
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, basil, chives, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Salad: Add the dressing to the mashed chickpeas and stir thoroughly to coat the chickpeas evenly with the herbed dressing.
- Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced cucumber, avocado, celery, and chopped green onion to the chickpea mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
- Assemble Wraps: Spoon the chickpea salad evenly onto the center of each lettuce leaf or tortilla wrap. Roll or fold the wrap securely to enclose the filling.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately for the best freshness and crispness, or refrigerate for up to 3 days if making ahead.
Notes
- This salad can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days without losing flavor or texture.
- For extra crunch and variety, add sliced radishes, sprouts, or shredded carrots into the salad mix.
