Cranberry Walnut Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Recipe from http://thesimpleveganista.blogspot.com

This chickpea salad is sweet, savory, and crunchy.  Great on bread or in a GF wrap with some lettuce.

No photos are really needed here, but I took some of the ingredients.  I meant to take one of the final product, but we ate it all and I forgot.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked or 2 cans (15oz) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
• 1 cup celery, diced 
• 1/2 cup organic dried cranberries (chopped fresh would be great too)
• 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup scallions (green onions), thinly sliced, white & green parts
• mineral salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste (I used about 1/2 teaspoon each)

Dressing ingredients (slightly modified from original recipe)

Veganese (as much as you want.  I just threw in a giant spoonful ~1/3 cup)
A splash of white wine vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
~ 1 tsp maple syrup

In a medium to large bowl, add your garbanzo beans and roughly mash with a strong fork or potato masher. Add in celery, cranberries, nuts, scallions, salt, pepper. Add in dressing ingredients and mix well. Serve at room temp or let chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
