Recipe: Food For An Independence Day Hike

Happy Independence Day!!

The deer above is what we saw when we got to the peak of our hike today at the Blue Hills in Milton, MA. It was fantastic! S/he just bolted past, enough time to grab a few quick shots with the camera!

We hiked to the top of one of the hills with friends after walking around for a few hours. We planned in advance to eat lunch on top. So, we needed a travel easy lunch to bring with us. A house favorite is the Chickpea “Tuna,” so that is what we brought. It’s essentially just how I used to make tuna salad when I still ate it. It’s delicious and easy to pack.


Chickpea Salad

Ingredients:
- Can garbanzo beans
- 1.5 Tablespoons of vegan mayo (I use Vegenaise)
- 1.5 Tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- Pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Garlic powder to taste

Directions: Mix it all in together!

The measurements are approximately what we used for one can of chickpeas. Unless I am baking I tend not to be specific, I just throw things in. To add a bit more flavor, we brought slices of pickles, tomatoes and avocado, with some lettuce. As a snack to go along with lunch we chose the snap peas and radishes from our CSA. It was thoroughly enjoyed as we sat in the sun with a view of Boston.
