- 1 small red onion, roughly chopped
- ½ red bell pepper (optional), roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- Juice of ½ to 1 lemon
- ½ nori sheet (optional, for a subtle umami flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (optional, for a hint of spice)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 fresh garlic clove, minced)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
For Serving
- 2 vegan wraps (regular or gluten-free)
- 1 cup mixed greens
- Cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered as desired
Kitchen Equipment
- Food Processor: A mini food processor works great, but you can make this recipe without one—see notes below!
- Knife and Cutting Board: For prepping your veggies.
- Bowl: For assembling your ingredients.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chickpea Salad
- Add all chickpea salad ingredients to a food processor. (If you don’t have one, see the notes below for alternative instructions.)
- Use the pulse function to mix. Be careful not to over-process—you want a chunky, not pureed, consistency. The veggies should be finely chopped but still provide texture to the salad.
Step 2: Assemble Your Wraps
- Lay your wraps flat and spread a generous portion of the chickpea salad across the center.
- Add a handful of mixed greens and a sprinkle of cherry tomatoes for freshness.
- Roll up the wraps tightly, slice them in half if desired, and enjoy!
Tips & Notes
- No Food Processor? No problem! Simply mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or fork until chunky. Finely chop the other ingredients by hand, then mix everything together.
- Add Extra Flavor: Try a dash of smoked paprika, a squeeze of sriracha, or some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Make It Your Own: Add shredded carrots, cucumber slices, or avocado for extra crunch and creaminess.
Storage Suggestions
- Store leftover chickpea salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Assemble wraps fresh for the best texture, but you can prep all components in advance for a speedy meal.
