Beauty and the Beets Curried Chickpea salad

Happy Meatless Monday!

I used to love chicken salad. The spices, the crunchy celery pieces, the creative variants. Grapes, blueberries, dried cranberries, pecans, walnuts- you could pretty much add about anything you wanted to and it would be good. As I venture into healthier eating, I have had to say adios to chicken and with that my favorite beloved deli salad.

One day, while out at lunch at a local Vegan restaurant, I found chickpea deli salad on the menu. Chickpea deli salad? Interesting. Hmmmmmm………

Now I’m hooked. I prefer to make my chickpea salad with curry spices and eat without the bread. I use it as a topping on salads or as a side dish to a healthy veggie panini. I also love anything I can make in under two minutes.
