Not a Chick'n-Salad

This may be more of a summery dish but who doesn't love a Vegan Chicken Salad Sandwich?  am I right?  I actually have fond memories of chicken salad as a kid so the nostalgia is still there and I swear that this vegan version is close and yummy.  Serve this as small bites at your next gathering and i promise that they'll be a hit.  They can be served on lettuce wraps, bread, crackers, or anything really.  It's basically a regular chicken salad recipe except using Garbanzo beans instead of chicken.

Pulse a can of rinsed and drained Garbanzo Beans (Chick Peas) in a food processor until just lightly chopped.  Transfer to a bowl and mix in a few tablespoons of Veganaise., 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and dried rosemary or thyme (or be REALLY crazy and use both!  They love to pair up with lemon). 1/4 small onion chopped, and 1/2 stalk of celery chopped.

Some other nice additions are dried cranberries, sliced grapes, or chopped nuts.  Serve as you would Chicken Salad.
