Mashed Chickpea Salad Lettuce Boats

This mashed chickpea salad is a vegetarian version of the classic tuna salad! The perfect no-cook meal that you can easily make in minutes. When served on lettuce “boats,” this quick meal instantly becomes extra fun for littles to eat as well as getting some extra veggies in!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked and drained chickpeas
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, or to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayo or Greek yogurt, or to taste
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Lettuce leaves, washed and patted dry
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Pour the cooked and drained chickpeas into a medium bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the chickpeas until there are no more whole beans and to your desired consistency.
  2. Add diced celery, lemon juice/apple cider vinegar, mustard, mayo/Greek yogurt, onion powder, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix well.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more mayo/yogurt for a creamier salad.
  4. Arrange the prepped lettuce leaves (these will become your “boats”) on a serving platter or individual plates. Fill each one with a scoop or two of the mashed chickpea salad.
  5. Enjoy as is or top with sliced tomatoes, shredded carrots or diced avocado.
