Coronation Chickpea Salad
Updated: Jul 1
Sweet, tangy, fragrant and creamy chickpea salad. This is my vegan take on the classic coronation chicken salad.
It is a long weekend and we are celebrating the coronation of the new king. What better time to post the recipe, right?
WHAT IS A CORONATION SALAD
Traditionally made with shredded chicken, it is mixed with a creamy curry mayonnaise dressing, mixed with chutney and raisins.
To make this vegan friendly I replaced the chicken with mushed chickpeas and replaced the mayonnaise with a mixture of vegan mayo and vegan yoghurt.
TO MAKE THIS YOU WILL NEED
cooked chickpeas, canned or cooked from dry
a mild or hot curry powder
vegan mayonnaise
vegan yoghurt
mango or peach chutney
dried apricots or raisins
lime juice
turmeric (optional)
sea salt & black pepper
AND TO SERVE
a few slices of bread
fresh herbs, such as coriander or parsley
fresh lettuce
ALTERNATIVES
I have not tried it yet, but I am sure replacing the chickpeas with pulled jackfruit should work very well too in this recipe
Replace the dried apricots with raisins or sultanas
Replace the mango chutney with peach or your choice of chutney
No lime juice? Not to worry, you can also use lemon juice
If you like it spicy (hot) you can also add chilli powder or fresh, finely chopped chillies
OTHER WAYS TO ENJOY
As a topping on a baked potato
In a salad wrap
Serve in lettuce cups
Add cooked pasta to make a pasta salad
Add cooked baby potatoes to make a potato salad
