Question 1

Is vegan chickpea salad healthy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Chickpeas are loaded with fiber and protein and avocado are full of healthy fats and vitamins. Plus you get the added health benefits from the carrot, celery, and green onions. It’s a healthy meal or snack that’ll also keep you full.

Question 2

How long does vegan chickpea salad last in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

It’s last in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days, or longer if you leave the avocado out and add it later. It’s best enjoyed within the first day or two for the fresh avocado and veggies.

Question 3

Can I make vegan chickpea salad without mayo?

Accepted Answer

This recipe is a perfect example of how you can make chickpea salad without mayo. We use avocado for creaminess and just a bit of olive oil to loosen everything up.

Question 4

Can I use this vegan chickpea salad for sandwiches?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It’s great between two slices of lightly toasted sourdough. It’s also super tasty rolled up in a tortilla or flatbread. Add some leafy lettuce or tomato to make it feel even more sandwich worthy.

Question 5

What can I serve with vegan chickpea salad?

Accepted Answer

Because of its veggie forward and protein packed components, you don’t need a whole lot with this vegan chickpea salad. We do like to serve it with crackers, extra vegetables to scoop it up with, or on toast or leafy greens.

Question 6

Can I make chickpea salad ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but for best results we recommend adding the avocado closer to serving if possible. To do so, mix together all of the other ingredients first and later once you’re ready to serve, mash one avocado on a separate plate or bowl before stirring in with the other ingredients. Then gently mix in the diced avocado.

Question 7

How do you keep the avocados from turning brown?

Accepted Answer

The lemon juice in this recipe helps to avoid browning from the avocado. Other tricks to avoid avocado browning are storing it in an airtight container or placing plastic wrap directly on the surface of the chickpea salad to create an airtight seal.
