Chickpea Salad

My new favourite lunch! I have been making this vegan chickpea salad for the past few weeks it is so creamy and flavourful, you would not even know it is chickpeas!

This vegan chickpea salad recipe was inspired by From My Bowl and Oh She Glows Chickpea salad.

Serve with: Crackers (I love Ryvita rye crackers), Wraps or bread (I love Ezekiel brand)
