Pecan Apple Chickpea Salad Wraps

Healthy Fact of the Day

These Pecan Apple Chickpea Salad Wraps are a nutritional powerhouse. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber, promoting satiety and supporting digestive health. Apples provide additional fiber and antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which may have anti-inflammatory benefits. Pecans offer heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and various minerals. The combination of vegetables adds vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. This balanced wrap provides a mix of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats, making it a satisfying and nourishing meal option for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large apple, cored and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4-6 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. Add diced apple, chopped pecans, red onion, parsley, and celery to the mashed chickpeas.

  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and thyme.

  4. Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and stir until well combined.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  8. Spoon a generous amount of the chickpea salad over the spinach.

  9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
