It is officially back to school season BUT it is also the end of Summer. And what do those two things have in common? The need for easy finger foods that can be party snacks AND make ahead lunches.

These Chickpea Salad Pinwheels are the perfect answer to both.

We all know I love me some chickpea salad – from my Green Goddess Sandwiches to my Chickpea Salad Wraps, it is clear that I am in love with this stuff.

If you’ve never dabbled in chickpea salad, just imagine all of the flavors of traditional chicken salad, but swap the chicken for chickpeas.

TSV TIP: Don’t have chickpeas on hand? You can also use white beans. Has a similar texture and gives this recipe a great flavor.

What I love about the Chickpea Salad Pinwheels is that you can make the filling ahead of time and plop it into the fridge until you are ready to assemble.

You can also change up the flavors depending on your tastebuds and who you are serving. I personally love an extra splash of hot sauce. And when I say “splash” I mean “BRING ON THE HOT SAUCE”. But you can play around with this recipe until it has the perfect flavor/consistency you are looking for.

How to make Chickpea Salad Pinwheels

Want it more creamy? Add is some additional mayo. Like that tart zing? More mustard is your answer.

Once your filling is done, it is time to assemble. Spread an even layer across a large tortilla. Top half of the filling with spinach – you don’t want the spinach to go all the way across, because then your tortilla won’t stick to itself at the end.

Roll it nice and tight, then slice away. Place those pinwheels in the fridge until ready to eat. I wouldn’t make them more than 12 hours ahead of time since the tortillas can start to get soggy.

These Chickpea Salad Pinwheels are perfect for a party or a packed lunch.

  • To assemble, spread an even layer of filling to the outer edges of each tortilla. Top half of the filling with spinach.***
  • Starting at the end with spinach, tightly roll the tortillas up until you reach the other end. Use a sharp knife, and cut each wrap into 8 pieces.
  • Serve right away or place in an air tight container in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

*If the texture of the chickpea skins bother you, you can peel them by hand. This can be a little time consuming. I did not peel the skins of mine and they turned out just fine.
**The filling can be made up to 6 hours ahead of time. If you are worried about your avocado browning, you can wait to add it until right before assembling.
***You don’t want to add spinach to both sides of the tortilla because once you roll it up, the other end won’t stick if the filling is covered with spinach – see pictures above for reference.
