Description

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped small
• 1/3 of a small apple, chopped small
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped small
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1/2 cup kale, de-stemmed and torn into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 2-3 heaping tablespoons of dijon, more as needed - I used a mix of spicy dijon with stone-ground
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• fresh juice from 1/2 of a lemon
• 1.5 tablespoon sunflower seeds
• sea salt salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

• In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas a few times until blended but the mixture still has chunks for texture. You can also mash them in a bowl with a potato masher. Transfer to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper to your liking. Enjoy!
