Ingredients
Marinated Chickpea Salad
- 1, 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 medium red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp kalamata olives, whole or halved
- 1 Persian cucumber, roughly chopped
- Zest and juice of half a lemon
- 2 tsp dry oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp maple syrup, optional
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 3/4 cup Marinated Tofu or 1/3 cup Vegan Feta
To Assemble
- 3 wraps of choice
- 1 cup salad greens
- 6 tbsp Vegan Tzatziki, hummus or avocado
Vegan Tzatziki, optional
- 1 Persian cucumber, about 1/4 cup grated
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 1/2 tbsp or more lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp dill, minced
- 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Instructions
- To a bowl combine all of the chickpea salad ingredients along with a nice pinch of salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl and give a good mix to combine. Allow the chickpeas to marinate for at least an hour before using. **To save time chopping, use a food chopper.
- If making Tzatziki, grate your other cucumber and then scoop up the shredded cucumber in your hand and gently squeeze the excess liquid out. Place the grated cucumber in a separate bowl along with the remaining tzatziki ingredients. Whisk to combine and adjust salt to taste.
- Assemble wrap. Smear your wrap with 2 tablespoons of your desired spread (tzatziki, hummus or avocado), add your greens, top with the chickpea salad and marinated tofu or feta. Roll it up and enjoy.
Notes
Adjust the sharpness of the onion to your taste. Use as much or as little onion as you prefer. If onion is too strong for you, you can cut the sharpness by soaking it in some water for 10 minutes.
Use Persian cucumbers. Smaller cucumbers like Persian cucumbers contain less water, which will help them retain their crunch and also prevent your wrap from getting soggy. If using a different cucumber, scrape out the seeds in the middle to reduce the moisture.
Cut the vegetables into roughly equal sized pieces. This will ensure that you have an even amount of all the ingredients in each bite.
