Some days we want to be complimented and for you to notice our new hair cut, somedays we want to pretend like we’re invisible and sport a ball cap.
Some mornings we wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed green smoothie in hand and others we sip our coffee in one hand using the other to block any face that comes too close wanting to make small talk.
What can I say, we’re women. Our mood and preferences change day on a day to day bases. LADIES, I’m with ya, and this recipe I created just for you. My fellow, ‘my day, mood, and taste buds differ with no premeditated routine, method or advanced notice.’
By making this one easy recipe, you will be able to thoroughly enjoy it 3 totally different ways throughout your week. In no particular order.
Fresh dill, celery, a bit of onion and smashed chickpeas are the centre of these 3 featured dishes. This means prepping a big batch of this tuna-like salad mixture (sans the fish of course!), and being able to match it to your mood that day!

You’ll be happy to know, despite your mood or choice, each one of these recipes is just as healthy as the next.
If you can, rinse and soak the chickpeas with a splash of lemon juice over night. This will help decrease the process of fermentation between alpha-galactocides and the gut bacteria. AKA you wont be as bloated or fart as much.
