Chickpea Chicken Style Salad

July 22, 2019 by Ariel Leave a Comment


Chickpea Chicken Style Salad Sandwich

Hey everyone!! Summer was a little late in coming up north where we live, but the heatwave this weekend left no doubt in our mind that it has arrived. Add high humidity to the high temps, and it’s a wonder we didn’t all melt. Oh, and did I mention we don’t have air conditioning? Thankfully it’s dropped back to “normal” temps again, and hopefully for the rest of the States, too!

The hot weather had me making some of my favorite fresh recipes, and I could hardly wait to share this one with you! If you are looking for a quick, easy and delicious summer meal (and who isn’t?!) I have just the solution to your summer meal planning quandary: this Chickpea Chicken Style Salad!

I created this recipe one day after “shopping” our pantry for something to make for a quick lunch. The result was a big hit with our family (including our 3-year-old!). Since then, I’ve heard nothing but positive reports every time I’ve served it – even from non-vegetarians.

This Chickpea Chicken Style Salad is savory, slightly crunchy, and incredibly satisfying! Serve it in sandwiches, with crackers, or as a yummy side salad.

Not only is it delicious, but it’s also full of healthy protein, and the onion and celery give it a really nice fresh crunch. And a bonus: you don’t have to cook anything. Believe me, that’s a huge benefit if you don’t have air conditioning! (like us… lol)

This salad gets it’s “chicken” flavor from McKay’s Chicken Seasoning. You can also find other brands with the same idea. Look for them in your local health food store, or online at Country Life Natural Foods (and it’s cheaper than Amazon!).

You can serve this as a sandwich spread (our favorite!), with crackers, or you can stuff it in tomatoes for a fun summer salad! It is savory, slightly crunchy, and SO satisfying.
