Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cutting board and knife

Ingredients

  • 5 oz. Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 3 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 3 cans chickpeas - 15 oz. cans (chilled)
  • 1 cup celery - about 4 stalks, sliced
  • 1 tbsp. chives - sliced 
  • ¼ cup fresh dill 
  • 1 tbsp. parsley
  • salt and pepper - to taste

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 5 oz. Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp. mayonnaise and 3 tsp. Dijon mustard. Set aside.
  • Slice 1 cup celery, finely chop ¼ cup fresh dill, finely slice 1 tbsp. chives, and finely chop 1 tbsp. parsley. Add to mixing bowl with yogurt, mayo and mustard.
  • Add 3 15 oz. drained cans (chilled) chickpeas to the bowl with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, give everything a nice stir and serve.

Notes

This salad will actually stay perfectly delicious for 3 days if stored in a sealed, refrigerated container, although it’s at its tastiest up to 24 hours after assembling.
If serving the next day, mix 1 extra teaspoon of Dijon mustard into the salad before serving, and maybe a little sprinkle of salt and pepper. It loses a little bit of flavor overnight, and 1 more teaspoon will refresh its zing.
See post for detailed instructions with photos of the process.
