Curried Chickpea Salad Recipe

July 27, 2018

Growing up, my mom would make the BEST curried chicken salad. It was made with savory spices and loaded with veggies. The perfect filling lunch for a hot summer day. Now that I'm plant-based, I've given my mom's recipe a healthy spin to create a delicious dairy-free version. This curried chickpea salad recipe has all the great flavors I grew up with, minus the cholesterol.

½ cup of cashews, chopped
