No-Tuna Salad
1 can organic chickpeas, drained
1/3 red onion, diced
4 celery stalks, diced
½ tsp garlic powder
2 vine tomatoes, diced
1 cup fresh cilantro, washed and chopped, without stalk
4 lemons (juice)
1 tsp Himalayan salt
pinch of pepper to taste
2 tbls Tahini
In a bowl, pour the chickpeas, lemon and tahini and mashed them with a fork. You can instead use a food processor; if you do, don’t chop the chickpeas to the point of a cream, so that it has texture. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Serve cold with corn tortillas, crackers or bread and enjoy.
Berry Banana Nice Cream
4 frozen bananas
2 cups frozen strawberries
8 – 10 pitted dates
4 tbls plant milk unsweetened
Pour all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix well until a thick and creamy mixture is obtained. If you feel you need a little more liquid to make it happen use a few more spoonfuls. Transfer all the mix to a container you can freeze for at least 1 hour. Serve cold and enjoy. You can also serve right after you blend it. Also you can use toppings like almonds, fresh strawberries, cacao chips, coconut unsweetened flakes, etc.
