Sharing my current favorite snack! It’s mashed buffalo chickpeas on sundried tomato and basil crackers with cucumber and parsley!
They’re perfectly bite-sized, balanced with plant-based protein from the chickpeas, crunch from the variety of veggies, and fresh herbs.
I use about 1/2 of the chickpea mixture for this snack recipe and save the rest of the chickpea mixture to eat with lettuce wraps later in the week!
