where you're gonna go okay that's it welcome back to another freestyle Friday
super excited I know that we've made a chickpea salad sandwich before that's no
secret it's you guys have gone ham on that
video it's your favorite video but we've made some alterations we're coming at
you with our favorite lunch literally we have this at least twice a week let's
get into it we're here in Kelowna and there's a
serious smoke situation so I need to take some breathers throughout the show
so let's start with a huge bowl and a couple of cans of chickpeas and we'll
crack those open so I've been really not into pulling out the strainer lately
it's just like another thing to wash so this is the way I'm doing bean and wash
it right in the can save yourself a little time a little bit of dishes at
the end so I run the water back through the can and then just shake them around
in the can that's the same thing just makes your life a lot easier
been life hacks we're gonna do two cans of chickpeas today and you got your
chickpeas and we're gonna start right away with the masher best technique I've
found for mashing chickpeas is really force the weight in from the back okay
so we're gonna drop the bowl and we're gonna come down like this much easier
just go in the middle start in the middle see I'm coming from
my back it's a nice technique here if you guys are gonna send me pics this
this is what wanna see I wanna see you mashing your
chickpeas from the pack last chickpea salad sandwich recipe was very
Mediterranean we threw all of them sun-dried tomatoes and we regular I
don't remember but we also use avocado instead of Mayo so that's a great
substitute if you're trying to stay lean but today we're gonna use milk and
Tamayo is delicious and we don't have any avocado I'm out of breath dude even
if you're not vegan I should try out vegan mayo literally tastes the exact
same and zero cholesterol regular mail is full of egg yolk and there's tons of
cholesterol in that so even if you can do little steps to make your life a
little healthier try it out vegan male shout the
Hellmann's thank you very much three knives for okay just like knives like
that we're gonna have a look what's that mayor around you can Mayo is basically
just canola oil just gonna add a little bit of flavor and help it all stick
together that's it we're cutting ourselves off Afghanistan shape here
you're still got a few little chunks so a little bit of crunch we're not over
mashing it but that's beautiful I'm gonna just put that to the side and
we'll start dicing pickles probably the most key ingredient so I'm just gonna
cut that into like 6 and then just little pieces I know there's been a lot
of comments about me dragging my knife on my cutting board so I apologize
I gotta get used to the flip appreciate you guys let me know
when I'm doing stuff wrong can always count on you I realize that I've taught
you guys to tuck your tongue when you're cutting Tom your tongue
tuck your tongue and it but with the pickles I find that it really helps hold
them open so I'm willing to take the risk all right take your time if you
don't whine a little slower I'm gonna go right into the ball hold my cutting
board with two hands really nice that some grocery stores are starting to sell
celery in single serves because we don't have room for a huge thing of celery I
always like cutting the ends off just a little bit cuz they're a little stale I
stole those shows up celery is another very important ingredient in the
chickpea salad because it adds a real crunch plug your ears I keep saying like
this one's the most key but this one is amazingly key Apple one of you messaged
me saying hey man love your trick pea salad sandwich try adding Apple don't
remember your name but thank you very much I will try out an apple and this is
like a new staple for us
little apple tip for you learnt this one from the camera girl you got to make
sure they're crunchy so when you're going to pick out an apple on grocery
store give it a nice squeeze euphy that all has give that one's not
going in the cart you want to be nice and solid
crunchy Apple makes a world of a difference
jalapa know is going in next jalapeno is gonna add a nice little kick so I want
to make sure I chop this up into little little pieces
I might even add a little bit of jalapeno liquid depending where the
consistency is that you're not a big fan of spice at all you can leave this guy
out but for me I like it hot
red onion raw it's gonna give it a nice kind of bitter flavor I love red onion
I'm just gonna grab a quarter of this we don't need to overdo it so we can just
sliver that then we can go ahead and dice that as well so when I will mix
everything up black pepper has anyone gone out and bought an electric pepper
shaker yet I know at least one you have will be an Amazon link for you below I'm
gonna add seven shakes of salt as far as the consistency are looking for you want
enough Mayo that everything kind of binds together and that will also
translate as to how well you've mash your chickpeas so you can tell right now
that everything's kind of sticking and that's exactly where you're looking for
we can go ahead and taste that goes may float into heaven wow this is like the
best stuff ever a picture of health absolutely delicious filling packed with
the protein now the last time we threw it on a bed on a sandwich that's a great
option today you know summer is ending it's not too late to get in shape so
we're gonna do it on a bed of spinach served with like a few little triangles
of PITA that's just how we're rolling today I'm
just gonna lightly post those who's gonna grab this if a water well here for
anybody watching this decides to toast things on pants as well just because I'm
doing it works great but if you have a toaster boom that was a quick freestyle
Friday guys that's how easy lunch can be the literal four-minute whip up you got
all the ingredients chopped boom there you go the chickpea salad sandwich will
stay good in the fridge for at least a few days so you can make it up in a big
batch and bring it to lunch in a Tupperware container with a couple of
chips and those are called chips little pita chips pita and you can just whip it
up and there you go you've got a beautiful salad there's no need to add
any other dressing you can grab a little bit of this a little bit of that I'm not
kidding when you say we this twice a week it is absolutely delicious please
