Buffalo Chickpea Salad Cucumber Bites

June 18, 2018 by Margaret 4 Comments

Buffalo Chickpea Salad Cucumber Bites | Vegan & Gluten-Free | The Plant Philosophy

Sticking with my no-cook theme of fresh bites perfect for the summer heat. These buffalo chickpea salad cucumber bites are so refreshing! Topped with a drizzle of vegan ranch, I make my own, and some chopped roasted pistachios for added flavor and crunch.

The beauty of making this buffalo salad is the versatility. You can mash the chickpeas finely for more of a dip-like consistency to serve alongside vegetables. Or pile it high on toasted bread and/or crackers.

This is truly a staple recipe in my house. Sometimes I omit the buffalo sauce and add mustard and some dulse for more of a mock “tuna” salad and eat it in lettuce wraps or loaded with veggies in a tortilla wrap. It’s a great option for lunches and you can even skip the vegan mayo/cream added if you want a lighter option that will keep fresh longer.

Do yourself a favor now and stock up on all the goods now at your local Kroger Family of Stores. Stay cool this summer and let me know if you give this recipe a try. I would love to hear what you think! Be sure to also snap a photo and tag me @PlantPhilosophy on Instagram using #PlantPhilosophy so I don’t miss seeing your post. I love to leave a comment and reshare my favorite recreations. Thank you very much for taking the time to follow along with my content and make my recipes!
