Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup quinoa
  • 1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 rib celery, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup shredded cabbage
  • ¼ onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

  • 1 ½ teaspoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and refrigerate until cold.

Step 2
Combine chickpeas, carrot, celery, sunflower seeds, cabbage, and onion in a food processor and pulse until everything is roughly equal in size; transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3
Stir quinoa, almonds, and raisins into the chickpea mixture; add mayonnaise, mustard, kelp flakes, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until evenly seasoned.
