Ingredients
19 oz can chick peas, drained
1/4 cup tangy boiled dressing recipe
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp garlic salt
Directions
Real egg salad contains quite a bit of fat from the egg yolk. This
version provides the egg salad taste and protein with almost no fat.
Serve it stuffed in a tomato on a lettuce leaf, or open-faced on
whole wheat toast, garnished with cucumber slices.
(ER Note: try making one or two servings at a time and freeze extra
chick peas in meal-sized amounts.)
Coarsely mash chick peas. Combine with dressing and other
ingredients. Mix until well blended. Food processor may be used but
a coarse texture is more like a real egg salad.
