Ingredients
  

  • 2 leaves kale (any variety)
  • 1 medium carrot, cut into chunks or 6 to 8 baby carrots
  • 15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast optional, but highly recommended
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
  • 1 to 2 scallions, green parts only, cut into large pieces optional
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder or more, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin or more, to taste
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Equipment

  • food processor

Method
 

  1. Strip the kale leaves away from the stems. Discard the stems and tear into several pieces. Massage the kale leaves with a little olive oil until they soften and turn bright green.
  2. Combine the kale and carrot in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; pulse on and off until finely chopped.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse on and off until the chickpeas are evenly chopped and everything is nicely blended—do not over-process; leave the mixture a bit chunky.
  4. Transfer to a serving container and serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
