I’ve already expressed my obsession with Just Mayo in my previous post, and I was excited to find the Chipotle mayo in a nearby store. I should be receiving a jar of their new product Just Cookie Dough in the mail next week, so I plan on doing a review here. Check back for it!
I wanted to use the Chipotle mayo for something more exciting than just a sandwich, and I couldn’t imagine a better application than in chickpea salad. I love recipes for chickpea salad as a tuna salad/chicken salad replacement because I grew up eating those for lunch over the summer. The chipotle mayo adds a really nice kick; I would love to try this with some chopped cilantro or in a lettuce wrap. You could even serve this as a warm dip with hot sauce and chips.
Ingredients:
• 2 cups chickpeas, smashed
• 4 tbsp red onion, diced finely
• 1/4 medium green bell pepper, diced finely
• 1/2 cup Chipotle Just Mayo
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2-3 green onions, sliced
Directions:
1. Smash chickpeas with mayo, mustard, and lime juice until there are few whole chickpeas.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Serve on toast, in wraps, or eat straight with a spoon.
