Vegan Tasty

As a designer I’ve always been told to learn by example. Currently, I’m learn a lot from my new favorite website Vegan Yum Yum. I found this recipe under her favorites category. It’s also one of our new favorites. It’s a very versatile recipe that can be served as an hors d’oeuvre, as a sandwich, or just eaten plain. It’s very easy to make and keeps well in the refrigerator. We’ve been eating it for several days and loving it.

The flavor and the texture is fantastic for such a simple recipe. I’ve made vegan tuna and chicken salad in the past. I liked them but the flavor was a bit flat. What I really liked was the texture of having something to chew on besides the bread. This recipe really solves both issues. Lots of flavor. Awesome texture.

• 1 15 oz can Chickpeas, rinsed well
• 3-4 Tablespoons Vegenaise (vegan mayo)
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Mustard
• 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon Paprika (sweet, hot, or smoked)
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• Black Pepper to taste

Mash all the ingredients to form a chunky spread. Refrigerate or serve immediately.
