Confetti Chickpea Salad

Ingredients

• 1 (19 oz.) can chickpeas $1.27
• 1 small zucchini $0.44
• 1 small yellow squash $0.92
• 1 large carrot $0.14
• 2 whole green onions $0.22
• ½ cup light mayonnaise $0.89
• 1½ Tbsp lemon juice $0.08
• ⅛ tsp garlic powder $0.02
• ¼ tsp salt $0.02
• Freshly cracked pepper to taste $0.05

Instructions

1. Rinse and drain the chickpeas in a colander and then transfer them to a large bowl. Grate the carrot, slice the green onions, and finely chop the zucchini and yellow squash. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the chickpeas and stir to combine.
2. In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and a generous dose of freshly cracked pepper.
3. Add the dressing to the bowl with the vegetables and chickpeas. Stir to coat the salad in the dressing, slightly mashing the chickpeas as you go. The more you mash the chickpeas, the better the salad will hold together.
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
