Ingredients

  • 2 14.5 oz can Chickpeas
  • 1 can Hearts of palm
  • 2 Large ripe avocados pitted
  • ½ cup Nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup Vegan mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Sweet pickle relish
  • 4 tsp Dijon or spicy brown mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Black salt

Instructions

  • Drain chickpeas. Mash with potato masher or fork leaving it a bit chunky.
  • Drain hearts of palm. Dice into chunks. Set Aside.
  • Peel and mash the avocados with a fork.
  • Mix together the chickpeas, avocados, nutritional yeast, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, vinegar and salt. Gently stir in the diced hearts of palm.
  • Store in the refrigerator.
  • Enjoy on whole wheat toast, with some sliced tomatoes and fresh crisp lettuce. Also great to make avocado toast with a kick or a great snack or appetizer on crackers topped with halved grape tomato, too!

Notes

  • Keep bean water from chickpeas – it has sooo many awesome uses! Recipes coming soon here!  We just used it to make vegan cheese!
  • Black salt - the magic ingredient to give dishes and ‘eggy’ flavor!
  • Adding the hearts of palm gives it the little bits of texture to resemble the boiled egg whites in traditional egg salad.
Substitution options:
  • organic extra firm tofu for hearts of palm
  • lemon juice for AC vinegar
Optional additions according to your taste buds:
  • diced green onions or purple onions
  • diced celery
  • fresh minced dill
