Faux Chick'n Salad

thesinglebite's Note:

This vegetarian version of chicken salad is always a hit and it's so easy to make! These are super tasty in a wrap topped with roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato and avocado. You can also serve as mini-wraps (as pictured) for a party, see my note below.

This turned out so fantastic! I have been vegetarian long enough to forget how real chicken salad tastes, so I cant compare, but this is really, really yummy! It is chunky, crunchy, satisfying and tastes great. The chickpeas (or in my case a green variety of great northern beans) dominate and then there is mustard and onion, yum!
Since I really dont like celery, I used some yellow bell pepper instead and that was nice.
I used regular mustard, but honey mustard would surely have been very yummy, too.
Ill certainly make this again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your recipe with us, thesinglebite!
