Makes 7-10 lettuce wraps:
The Goods:
2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
1 1/2 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
1/4 cup vegan feta, crumbled
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
1/2 cup pickled red onions, diced (clickable recipe for red onions)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 lemon juiced
For the lettuce wraps:
romaine leaves, end 1/2 inch of white stem removed
dijon mustard (optional)
The Method:
Grab a large bowl, and add the garbanzo beans, cranberries, feta, almonds, pickled red onions, oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and stir until everything is fully mixed.
Grab a potato smasher and smash everything for 7-10 seconds. You don’t want to pulverize it, only a little, so only about half of the mixture is smashed.
Grab some fresh, crispy romaine lettuce leaves, and add a generous scoop or two of the chickpea mixture into the center. Optional to add a dollop of dijon to the top, and enjoy! Best served chilled.
This recipe is a great meal prep for a quick easy high protein snack on the go. Use on lettuce wraps, in a sandwich, on toast, or by itself!
