Curry powder is one of those flavors that just makes everything taste amazing! I use it in many recipes, but Curried Chickpea Salad is one of my favorites. Today, I decided to add it to a large spinach wrap and it turned out to be a really great idea. I hope you enjoy these wraps as much as we do!
Curried Chickpea Salad Wrap Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions
- Chickpeas – I used two cans of chickpeas (or garbanzo beans). You could can use white beans if you like.
- Celery and Onion – Celery and onion go well in chickpea salads, and add a nice fresh crunch. I used red onion, but you can use any color you like.
- Apple and Dried Cranberries – I like to add some sweetness to this recipe, and crispy apples and dried cranberries go well with the other ingredients. I used a red apple, but a Granny Smith would add great flavor, too.
- Mayonnaise – You can use regular or vegan mayo for this recipe. Tahini would be a great alternative.
- Dijon Mustard – Dijon mustard adds a nice bite. I like to add it to most of my chickpea salad recipes.
- Spices – I added some granulated garlic and ground cumin as well as curry powder.
- Fresh Herbs – I added fresh thyme and fresh parsley. You can use any kind of fresh herbs you like.
- Lemon Juice – I like to add a bit of lemon juice for a nice fresh flavor.
- Salt and Pepper – To Taste.
How To Make Curried Chickpea Salad Wraps
- Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to a large bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to smash the chickpeas. I like to mash some and leave some whole because it gives some nice texture.
- Next, add the celery, onion, apples, and dried cranberries. Give everything a quick mix, and then add the mayo, dijon mustard, curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, lemon juice, fresh herbs,, and salt and pepper.
- Mix everything together until completely combined. Lay down your large wrap and add a few spoonfuls of the curried chickpea mixture. Top with some mixed greens, if desired. Carefully fold the sides of the wrap in and then roll the wrap up tightly.
- I like to seal the wrap in a pan with cooking spray, but that step is optional. Cut the wrap in half and enjoy!

Jennifer Fehr says
how do you think it would taste with cottage cheese versus mayo? i’m trying to increase protein.
She Likes Food says
I bet that would work great!!

Hi. I often use plain Greek yogurt (Fage 0) mixed with Dijon mustard to create a protein rich substitute for mayo snd it tasted great. Never used cottage cheese. Thanks
