Oh boy this is delish. I did not add the raisin. Everything else the same. LOVE it.
Michael Rogers
Delicious and will become a regular in my rotation. I used jarred red onions (because I had them) and added sliced persian cucumbers because I didn’t have raisins. Perfect dinner with a glass of red wine.
Katherine Miller
I love the curry flavor texture of peas, took some of the skin off the chickpeas for smoothness. Will make again
Douglas Roth MD
Everything about this was so good – the pickled red onions are essential!
Jeremy Scott
This is delicious. I love how all the seasonings blend together.
Jordan Hahn
Delish – I have now forwarded the recipe to friends at the office who have seen me eating this – all love both the chickpea curry and Ryan’s pickled onions 🙂
Margaret Adams
Outstanding…and I’m not a vegetarian. But it was better than chicken salad to me.
Jennifer Anderson
Faux chicken salad! I made this after watching the show. I used one can of no sodium added chickpeas and made a few healthy modifications. I used olive oil mayo and non fat yoghurt. I didn’t have curry so I used cumin, chili powder, cinnamon and cayenne. I don’t like raisins so I used rehydrated dried cranberries. I added lemon zest and basil after I mixed it. I found 60 calorie flax, oat pita bread. I skipped the Cole slaw and onions. It was to die for. Going to add roasted chopped walnuts next time for added crunch.

Sounds tasty but I wouldn’t characterize it as healthy. I did a nutritional analysis based on the recipe and I also assumed only 1/2 a 6″ white pita per serving and only added red onion because it was easier. Otherwise I would have to add the sugar and other ingredients in the pickle. Nutrition Facts
