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

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

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

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

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

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!
