Vegan Coronation Chicken Salad
One of my favorite recipes to veganize is a coronation chicken salad recipe. No, it's not chicken; it's made with chickpeas, but tastes as fabulous as the royal recipe implies!

Ingredients
Salad
- 2 15 ounce cans Chickpeas mashed

Instructions
Salad
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Add the chickpeas to a food processor with a large blade and pulse.
- Transfer mashed chickpeas to a bowl and add diced celery, green onions, grapes, and roughly chopped almonds.
Dressing

- Whisk together.
- Pour the dressing into the chickpeas salad mixture.
- Stir to combine.

Notes
- Dice the onions and celery small for the best texture and flavors.
- Do not over-pulse the chickpeas; mash them instead, leaving some whole and half pieces.
- If you don't prefer less fancy vegan chicken salad, try this vegan chicken salad recipe or curried chickpea salad.
- Try lettuce wraps, corn tortillas, or a stuffed tomato or bell pepper for those who avoid bread.
- Vegan coronation chicken salad lasts 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
- I do not recommend freezing this salad.
