There’s no mayo in this edamame chickpea salad; the delish creaminess is from avocado and olive oil. Using frozen, shelled edamame makes it even easier!
Prepare dressing by placing all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blending until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chickpeas, edamame, diced red onion, chopped cilantro and jalapeno (if desired). Mix to combine.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea and edamame mixture and stir to coat completely. Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve cold as a side dish, salad or inside a sandwich or wrap. Enjoy!
Notes
Using canned chickpeas really reduces your prep time!
