Ingredients

1 can chickpeas
½ of a zucchini
1 small apple
2 tbsp. vegan lemon garlic mayo aioli
½ tbsp. maple syrup
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp. sunflower seeds no shell
1 tsp mustard
1 tbsp. Lemon or 2 tbsp. roughly a half a lemon
½ tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp onion powder

To serve

1 tomato
3 lettuce leaves
½ cucumber
6 slices bread can be gluten free wrap or bread (bread srsly)

Instructions

In a food processor, add in the chickpeas, mayo, maple syrup, salt, mustard, lemon, dried rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Pulse 4-5 times lasting about 5 seconds each pulse. Transfer to a bowl when done.
On a cutting board, chop the zucchini and apple into bite sized cubes, centimeter in diameter.
In the bowl with the chickpea mixture, add in the chopped zucchini, apple, & lastly the sunflower seeds.
Serve with bread with a slice of tomato, cucumber and lettuce.

Notes

To avoid the chickpea salad to fall out of the sand which, use the lettuce as a pocket for the filling.
You can opt out the bread with tortilla, to create a wrap.
I wanted to add some seeds to it, and I had sunflower seeds sitting in my pantry. So any nut or seed of your choice can work. For ex. Cashews, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds and more.
If you use a high speed blender, the turnout will be a smoother consistency. When I use a blender for this recipe I barely let it mix for 6 seconds. I like it chunky and smooth. If you blend it more than 10-20 seconds it will initiate the process of making hummus, and we don’t want that!!!
if you are making the best vegan garlic lemon aioli sauce, then it is about 9 full tablespoons/ 3/4 cup. So there will be about 7 tablespoons left of aioli.
