Best Curried Chickpea Salad
  1. Make the dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), and black pepper in a medium bowl. Press or grate the garlic into the bowl and mix to combine. Add water to thin as desired. Season with salt to taste.

  2. Optional: Rub the chickpeas between the layers of a kitchen or paper towel to remove the skins. This makes them easier to mash.

  3. Partially mash the chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. (Aim for about three-quarters mashed.)

  4. Transfer the mashed chickpeas, celery, red onion, green onion, and cilantro to a large bowl. Add the desired amount of dressing and mix to combine.

  5. For serving: Make curried chickpea salad sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or stuffed pita pockets. Refrigerate leftovers for 4 to 5 days.
