- 1 15 oz. can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, diced
- ½ avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- juice from ½ lemon
- 1 large green apple, peeled and diced
- ¼ cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, roughly chopped *or 1 teaspoon of dried dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Grab your food processor and start by adding the chickpeas to the bowl.
Prepare all of your ingredients and add them to the food processor except for the optional raisins.
Pulse a few times and then use a small spatula to scrape the sides. Pulse a few additional times. *Do not over pulse. You will want some chunks.
Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add in the raisins and hand mix.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge in an air-tight container.
Add the salad to a slice of toasted bread or dip pita chips or celery sticks into the salad.
This salad will last 1-2 days in the fridge. I suggest adding plastic wrap to the top of the salad so no salad is touching the air. Then, add the lid.
