Buffalo Chickpea Salad (vegetarian + vegan option)

Helloooo and happy Friday filled with Buffalo Chickpea Salad!

I made this Buffalo Chickpea Salad because I love buffalo sauce. I dip my fries in it. I put it on sandwiches, eggs, pizza. I’m buffalo sauce’s number one fan. I wanted a delicious vegetarian recipe for something I could use in sandwiches. Something with substance. Something with buffalo sauce.

Ingredients

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the chickpeas. Place 1/3 of the chickpeas in a mixing bowl and mash them. Add the remaining chickpeas to the mixing bowl and stir to combine with the mashed chickpeas.
2. Add the remaining ingredients (minus the cilantro) to the mixing bowl and mix well.
3. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and drizzle with extra buffalo sauce, if desired.
