Directions
This spicy Chickpea Salad is made with canned chickpeas tossed in a creamy, spicy buffalo sauce made with Greek yogurt, Franks Red Hot, lemon juice, and Tahini. The chickpeas are then topped with crunchy carrots and celery and sharp, tangy blue cheese. Buffalo flavor is one of my favorites, and I have tons of buffalo recipes on my site. I also love chickpea salad! For variations try my Chickpea Salad with Cucumbers and Tomatoes, Chickpea Avocado Salad, or my Greek Chickpea Salad.,You can toss just about anything with buffalo sauce and it will be delicious! This buffalo chickpea salad is easy to make and inexpensive. Its great for meal prep and easy to double it if you want leftovers.,To meal prep, cook the chickpeas, add in the carrots and celery, and cover the mixture in sauce. Squeeze lemon juice over the remaining carrots and celery. Store the chickpeas and vegetables in separate containers and refrigerate for up to four days.,Lettuce Wraps. Wrap in lettuce kind of like a salad you can eat with your hands.,Tortilla Wraps. Make a buffalo chickpea wrap using your favorite tortilla.,Sandwich Sandwich between your favorite whole grain bread.,Appetizer Use as a dip with tortilla chips or raw veggies, like bell pepper strips and cucumber slices.,Right out of the fridge. Eat it as is with a spoon.,Make it a Bowl! Make a buffalo chickpea bowl and serve over brown rice or quinoa and add in veggies, like cherry tomatoes and avocados.,The blue cheese is traditional but can be easily omitted or swapped out for something milder, like gorgonzola if its not your thing.,Make this salad dairy-free by using dairy-free yogurt and omitting the cheese.
