Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 100 grams vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mango chutney
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 50 grams sultanas (golden raisins)
- 30 grams apricots, dried and chopped
- 2 pieces spring onions, finely chopped
- 30 grams almonds, flaked and toasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chickpeas in a large mixing bowl and slightly mash them with a fork or potato masher until about half of them are crushed, leaving some whole for texture.
In a separate small bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, mango chutney, curry powder, and lime juice. Stir well until the ingredients are fully blended and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the mashed chickpeas and mix well to ensure all the chickpeas are evenly coated.
Add the sultanas, chopped dried apricots, and spring onions to the chickpea mixture. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Gently fold in the flaked and toasted almonds, making sure they are distributed throughout the salad for added crunch.
Sprinkle the fresh coriander on top and give the entire mixture one final stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or on a bed of fresh greens.
