This curry chickpea salad is packed with flavor from the curry powder, lime juice, yogurt and cilantro. And when folded with crispy and spicy veggies and tucked into bright green lettuce cups, it’s healthy meal prep at it’s finest!

While it’s absolutely delicious as-is, there are several ways to change things up and make it your own. Read on…

Recipe Substitution Options

Instead of mayonnaise, try another 2 tablespoons of yogurt or vegan mayonnaise.
Use fresh lemon instead of lime.
Try granulated sugar instead of honey (the sweetener is there to help balance the tangy dressing).
If you don’t like curry, skip the curry powder and add a tab of Dijon mustard.
For a meaty version, use cubed or shredded cooked chicken instead of chickpeas (or a mix of both).
If you don’t like it spicy, leave out the jalapeno or use less. Alternatively, if you like it spicy, use more jalapeno.
Leave out the cilantro if you’re not a fan.
Toast the cashews before adding them to the salad for more crunch.

No matter how you throw the salad together, it’ll be an easy way to meal prep and will be totally delicious!
