Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tsp cumin
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup diced celery

Instructions

  1. Mash the chickpeas: You can use a potato masher or a fork to mash the chickpeas. Alternatively, you can blitz the chickpeas in a blender for 1-2 seconds until lightly chopped.
  2. Mix all ingredients: Add all ingredients to a large bowl, and toss together until evenly coated.

Coconut free: Use your favorite dairy free yogurt in place of coconut yogurt.

Tahini substitutions: Swap in almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter instead of tahini.
