This vegan curried chickpea salad comes together in 20 minutes or less, requires a short list of easy-to-find ingredients, and is PACKED with flavor. Chickpeas are gently flaked and combined with juicy grapes, scallions, sweet raisins, and a bit of freshly chopped cilantro.

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Since becoming a mom, quick, easy, and nourishing meals have become a must-have in my weekly lineup.<\/p>\n

Few and far between are the evenings where I could spend an hour or two leisurely preparing a meal. In their place? Leftovers, speedy toss-together meals, and lots of baby snuggles.<\/p>\n

I wouldn't have it any other way.<\/p>\n

This vegan curried chickpea salad came to be during a particularly hurried push to get dinner on the table. I initially set out to make this<\/a> vegan un-tuna salad, but my plans were foiled upon realizing we were out of both artichokes and vegan mayo.<\/p>\n

Back to the speedy-meal drawing board I went.<\/p>\n

While scanning our shelves for rushed inspiration, a jar of curry powder caught my eye and reminded me of this<\/a> curried rice salad I made a few years back.<\/p>\n

We had all the ingredients on hand, but I wasn't about to sit around and twiddle my fingers waiting for a bunch of black rice to cook. Ain't no new mommas got time for that.<\/p>\n

And so two disparate recipes became one...<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Into the mixing bowl went...<\/p>\n

Two cans of chickpeas.<\/p>\n

Halved red grapes.<\/p>\n

Sliced scallions.<\/p>\n

Sweet raisins.<\/p>\n

Chopped cilantro.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Next, I whipped up a batch of creamy curried cashew dressing by blending together...<\/p>\n

Raw cashews.<\/p>\n

Filtered water.<\/p>\n

Apple cider vinegar.<\/p>\n

Lemon juice.<\/p>\n

Curry powder.<\/p>\n

Maple syrup.<\/p>\n

Sea salt.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Then, I poured the dressed over the salad and tossed it to coat.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

That's it.<\/p>\n

A super flavorful, addictive, and protein-packed vegan meal in 20 minutes (or less depending on the breadth of your slicing, dicing, and chopping skills).<\/p>\n

This vegan curried chickpea salad is delicious served all on its own. However, if you'd like to step it up a notch or two, I recommend serving it between two slices of hearty multigrain bread with a few leaves of butter lettuce.<\/p>\n
