A delicious tangy chick pea salad open sandwich, thanks to the salad recipe from Jill McKeever at Simple Daily Recipes |
3-4 C. of Cooked Chickpeas (organic definitely work better/taste better to us)
2 T. Dijon Mustard
2 T. Bread and Butter Relish (check the labels for crap you don't want like fructose corn syrup)
6 drops Liquid Smoke (we have Hickory, Jill used Mesquite... whatever smoke should be tasty)
1/2 C. Yellow Onion, chopped fine (a fairly small onion-- best not to put leftover onion in fridge)*
1 T. Tahini (sesame seed butter)
1/2 Lemon, squeezed (and mixed together with Tahini)
4 Celery Sticks, fine chopped
1 1/2 T. Parsley, chopped
My Method:
- Mix together the Tahini and Lemon Juice, set aside
- Mash Chickpeas in a large pan or bowl OR put chickpeas, dijon mustard, relish, the tahini/lemon mix, smoke, and parsley in the bowl of a food processor and process until just homogenous (same throughout).
- Dump contents of the food processor into a large bowl. Work in the chopped onions and celery.
- Put a lid on (or plastic wrap) and let sit in fridge for about an hour to let flavours kick each other around a bit.
Try this tangy, lovely chick pea delight and see if your family doesn't take after it like Jill's and mine!
I think uber-health conscious Dr. Neal Barnard would also agree with this particular recipe. You can hear him talk about his new book "Power Foods for the Brain" on July 8th.

Great information and Great Giveaways during this teleseminar-- tell others about it too!
