Buffalo Chickpea Salad Melt
Ingredients for 5 servings
Substitution
Note
- 2 cans (30oz/850g) no salt added canned garbanzo beans, drained
- 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- 2 green onion stalks, diced
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayo
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons The Fit Cook Green Chile Lime blend (Substitute: 2 teaspoons cumin)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons The Fit Cook Everyday blend (Substitute: 2 teaspoons garlic powder + 1 teaspoon onion powder)
- 4 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce
- sea salt & pepper to taste
- Melt
- 5 slices sourdough bread
- 5 slices vegan mozzarella (or your choice of cheese)
- green onion for garnish
Steps
Step 1
Add chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash them up using a fork. This will take significant time. As a time-saver, use an immersion blender or pulse blend the chickpeas in a food processor or blender until they are ROUGHLY chopped, NOT smooth like hummus.
Step 2
Add in the rest of the ingredients and fold everything together until chunky, yet smooth and well mixed.
Enjoy this with crackers, a side to a salad or as a Buffalo Melt!
Step 3
Toast a slice of sourdough. Add a serving of chickpea salad. Add a slice of vegan cheese on top. Place in the oven to melt the cheese for 3 – 5 minutes, then enjoy!
