This Apple Curry Walnut Salad is a nice sweet, savory and crunchy mixture that makes for a delicious bite. This salad is great on bread or a tortilla but this salad is so good that I could eat it all by itself as a meal. Make sure to slice the apples, red bell pepper and celery thin for a more elegant salad.

Instructions
Whisk the cashew sour cream and curry powder in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Cut the apple, celery, green onions, red bell pepper and crush the walnuts using a ziplock bag.
In a large bowl, add the chickpeas and mash them. No need to mash them all as long as the majority of the peas are mashed.
Toss together the chickpeas, apples, celery, green onions, walnuts, red bell pepper, raisins and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the cashew sour cream/curry powder mixture and mix everything well.
Add the juice of about 1/2 lemon and mix everything again.
Serve on a tortilla with some greens (arugula or sprouts), cherrie tomatoes or sliced tomato.
