Tofu chickpea salad is a versatile recipe that we like to make when we need something quick, without spending too much energy. It’s super easy to put together, and is fully ready within 10 minutes. It tastes great on sandwiches, wraps, or just as a dip with crackers or pita bread.

Instructions
Squeeze your tofu block gently over the sink to remove some excess moisture. Pat it try with paper towel, and then cut it into smallish cubes.
In a pan heat 1 tsp olive oil on medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, and tofu. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add all ingredients to a food processor. Pulse a few times until the texture is how you want it. We like to have it a little bit chunky.
Scrape tofu chickpea salad mixture out of food processor into a large bowl. Mix it well, and taste it to see if you'd like to add any extra salt & pepper.
