Description
On the lookout for a tasty new plant-based salad for your next cookout or picnic? I was! So, I created this curried chickpea salad with grilled veggies.
It’s sooo flavorful, colorful, aromatic, and filling. And all you need to do is make the curry dressing – just stir together vegan mayo, cilantro, chutney, curry powder, salt, pepper and, if you like a bit of heat, some hot pepper flakes. It’ll be thick enough to coat the chickpeas, which you’ll stir in next. Then you’ll finish with diced grilled or roasted bell pepper and grape tomatoes.
That’s it!
