Vegan Curried Chickpea Salad
Hello & Happy Thursday!!
If there is one concept I loved, but didn’t experience a ton, it’s curried chicken salad. If you’ve ever been in NYC, I felt as though you would see it at every market and I eventually had a bite and loved the flavor profile.
While there are only a handful of recipes that I use curry in, I love the rich flavor and I become instantly hooked when I use it.
What’s fab about effortless chickpea salad concepts is that like the traditional “chicken salad” concepts you can throw just about whatever you like in it and tailor it to your tastebuds.
What’s fab about this recipe is everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, packed with protein and fiber, packed with flavor, has multiple textures, it’s sweet and savory, has a hint of heat, can be made in minutes, made in bulk, perfect for any season, and is even non vegan approved!

I made this today—so delicious! I subbed a few items because I had no celery and I had no golden raisins. So I cut up cabbage for the crunch 😀 and used regular raisins. Thanks!
