    Savory Dill Pickle Mashed Chickpea Salad

    Jul 25, 2019 • Luteal Phase, Salads, Sides

    Vegan Chickpea Salad with pickles

    A twist on my original Mashed Chickpea Salad which is on the sweeter side, this creation is the opposite of sweet and is all things savory and salty instead!

    Sometimes you want a chickpea salad with dill pickles and salty olives, you know?! There’s no mayo involved, no fake ingredients, it’s all real whole foods but ends up being creamy too in some magical kind of way. Ahhh, I love it so much. I love the crunch from the fresh cucumbers and the pickles. I love the dash of fresh lemon and zesty dijon mustard. I love the raw sunflower seeds and creamy tahini.

    It’s a savory lovers dream!

    I also love that it takes less than 30 minutes to make. Chop the veggies and herbs, pulse the chickpeas in the food processor until slightly mashed, add the spices and such, and mix! We like to serve it with avocado on sourdough toast, or have it alongside some veggie burgers and fries. I also will top it on some romaine lettuce or fresh spinach with extra lemon for the quickest lunch around. There’s nothing like it! It makes for the perfect meal-prepped lunch too, because the leftovers get better in the fridge.

    Go make it ASAP! FYI – It’s perfect for the luteal phase too because of the chickpeas and tahini!!

    Description

    Savory and salty chickpea salad with dill pickles, olives, lemon and tahini!


    Ingredients

    Scale

    2 15-ounce cans chickpeas drained and rinsed

    1 cup chopped cucumber

    1 cup chopped carrots

    1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

    2 green onions, chopped (or more to taste, can sub shallot or chives)

    1/2 cup chopped pickles of your choice (I used spicy dill)

    1/3 cup olives of your choice (I used green)

    1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley (can sub for fresh dill)

    1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds

    juice from 1 whole lemon (sometimes I do 1.5 lemons if they are small)

    1/3 cup tahini

    1/4 cup dijon mustard (I used horseradish dijon)

    pinch of sea salt and pepper, to taste


    Instructions

    Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Then transfer them to a food processor and pulse until slightly mashed. Transfer them to a medium-sized bowl.

    Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix until well combined and creamy!

    Taste test and adjust lemon, salt, pepper, mustard, etc. Serve over toast with avocado, over lettuce or alongside veggie burgers! Makes a great side dish to bring to a party as well.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
