Notes

  • Do not over-pulse chickpeas in the food processor. 
  • If you don't have a food processor, use a fork to mash the chickpeas. 
  • For a nut-free option, choose white beans or silken tofu to replace the cashews in the cashew mayo recipe. 
  • Instead of bread, fill a large hot house tomato, serve inside lettuce wraps, add to a green salad, or eat directly from a bowl. 
  • Omit black salt if you don't like the smell and taste of eggs. 
  • Add additional chopped vegetables for more veggies.
