Justin Chapple's Smashed Chickpea Salad Lettuce Wrap

Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz. each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 medium celery ribs, minced
⅓ c. minced red onion
¼ c. mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ c. snipped fresh chives
½ c. finely chopped fresh parsley
12 large Bibb or iceberg lettuce leaves for serving

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, using a potato masher or large whisk, coarsely smash most of the chickpeas. (Some chickpeas might still be whole.)

2. Add celery, onion, mayonnaise and lemon juice to chickpeas; mix well. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in chives and parsley.

3. Spoon the chickpea salad into the lettuce leaves and serve.

4. Can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight. It’s best if you stir in the chives and parsley just before serving.

Serves 4 to 6.
