Curried Chickpea Mango Salad Wrap
Savoury chickpeas and sweet, tangy mango combine in this unexpectedly delicious wrap.
Pack it up: Assembling this wrap the night before will leave you with a majorly soggy tortilla on your hands. Instead, loosely fold and roll tortillas and place each in an airtight container. With the chickpea salad, divide it among 4 separate containers and top each with a quarter of the spinach. Assemble immediately before eating.
Swap it out: Don’t have chickpeas in your kitchen? Use whatever protein you do have; crumbled firm tofu, tempeh, or even chicken would work just fine.
2 Tbsp (30 mL) plain, 0% milk fat Greek yogourt
1 Tbsp (15 mL) vegan mayonnaise or reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 Tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
Juice from 1 lime
1 tsp (5 mL) agave nectar or honey
2 1/2 tsp (12 mL) yellow curry powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup (80 mL) diced red onion
2 green onions, green and white parts, diced
1 cup (250 mL) diced mango
1 - 15 oz (425 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 whole grain tortillas
1 cup (250 mL) baby spinach, washed and dried
In medium mixing bowl combine yogourt, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, lime juice, agave, curry powder, cayenne, and salt.
Add red onion, green onion, mango, and chickpeas to curry mixture; stir to combine.
If eating immediately, split mixture among tortillas and top with spinach. Fold in sides of tortilla and roll up tightly. Cut each wrap in half and serve. If eating later, package up components and refrigerate.
Makes 4 wraps.

Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Roasted Cauliflower with Pecan Date Crumble
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
Creamy White Bean Pasta
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
Vegan Queso Dip
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
