Easy Chickpea Salad Sandwich Filling

February 25, 2019 By Susan Voisin 14 Comments

Somewhere right now one of my longtime readers is saying, “Another chickpea salad???” And they’re right. I’ve done chickpea salads before: Thai chickpea salad, “tuna” chickpea salad, 3-minute chickpea salad, herbed and curried chickpea salads. So why do I need to post an easy chickpea salad?

The simple answer is this is how I make chickpea salad now. I started adding more veggies, cutting down on the number of seasonings, and using a food processor to do all the mashing and mixing. As a result, the current incarnation of my chickpea salad may be even quicker than my 3-Minute Chickpea Salad–and it’s sugar-free….

High in protein, low in fat, these vegan soft pretzels are hearty and delicious. You can be enjoying them in less than an hour!

Happy 2019! I’m really off to a late start this year thanks to a lot of non-edible stuff happening in my life. Some of it involves saying goodbye to one canine family member and hello to a new one….

Homemade Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning

Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning and How to Use It

Since I visited New York City in September, my family has become addicted to this oniony, garlicy sesame bagel seasoning! Before I left for my trip, I checked the location of our hotel on the map and was excited to discover that there was a Trader Joe’s around the block. There isn’t one in our…

Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese

Last Monday morning, I was checking my blog comments, as I always do, when I found a new comment on my Easy Vegan Macaroni and Cheese: I was so surprised I nearly choked on my coffee. Not only had my darling daughter made my recipe, but she’d taken the time to leave a comment. And…

Blueberry Applesauce Cake Bars

The first time I described picking blueberries, I wrote, “There’s something peaceful about picking blueberries, even when you have to stand on a ladder to do it.” I went on to post the recipe for a Chocolate-Blueberry Cake that was pretty amazing, but some of the people who commented were more curious about the ladder…

Barbecued Waffle Iron Tofu

Tofu is coated in sugar-free barbecue sauce and then quick-cooked on a waffle iron for the chewiest, most flavorful tofu in under 10 minutes. Welcome to tofu of the month! Just kidding, mostly, but since my second-to-last post was Air Fried Tofu Italian Style, you may start to think that I eat nothing but tofu. The…

Red Lentil Soup with Cauliflower Rice

This richly spiced but not spicy red lentil soup is made thicker and heartier by the addition of cauliflower rice. It’s a complete vegan meal in a bowl, but serve it with a little naan or pita bread if you like. I take recipe inspiration wherever I can find it–meals in restaurants, descriptions in novels,…

Air Fried Tofu Italian Style

I’ve had an air fryer for well over a year and even started a Facebook group, FatFree Vegan Air Fryers, to share cooking ideas. I’ve posted several air fryer recipes, but I’ve never taken the opportunity to write about the air fryer in depth, to review the different air fryers, describe how they work, give…
