What is the Feel Good Foodie Cooking Challenge?

This Cooking Challenge is a fun way for us to join together and cook or bake the recipe of the month! It also allows us to collect feedback from all of you on your experience with the recipe, changes you’d make, ingredients you’d add, and more. It helps you get in the kitchen and try something new!

How does it work?

We’ll announce the Cooking Challenge at the start of the month on all social channels and in our Facebook Group. You will have until the last few days of the month to make the recipe and leave a rating and a comment on feelgoodfoodie.net. At the end of the month, we’ll share photos of some of your creations and announce a winner of a grand prize of a gift card to Amazon or gadget. This month’s winner will win an air fryer and the prize will go to an individual with a U.S. shipping address.

How do I enter the challenge?

To enter the challenge, it’s required that you leave a rating and comment on the recipe card. You can also share photos of your creations on Instagram Stories using #feelgoodfoodie and tagging @feelgoodfoodie or in our Facebook group (optional).

  1. Made this for lunch today, and it was delicious! Didn’t have a shallot or fresh dill so I swapped in ⅓ of a finely diced red onion and some fresh parsley. Threw in some capers and a bit of their juice, YUM. Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

        1. Hi Reem! It will! It might be a little less creamy than if you had used Greek yogurt, but it will still be yummy! Hope you enjoy!

  2. I love toasts (avocado, salmon, tuna etc) and this was just another yummy toast that I made with Trader Joe’s sourdough bread. Easy to make and very yummy. I sprinkled with parsley instead of dill.

  3. So quick and easy to whip up! This turned out delicious, I’ll first enjoy with crackers and then maybe on toast for tomorrows lunch. I feel like this is a hit to keep me out of a lunch slump!

  4. Made this last night! Quick and easy and loved. A little left over that I’m sure will taste even better tonight! Soooo Good 😀

  5. Made this dish, loved it.  Enjoyed eating it as a spread on a slice of bread.  It seems to smell like tuna each time I opened up the container I stored it in.  Guess why it was called Chickpea ‘Tuna’ Salad.  I left out the celery as my husband is allergic to it, added a spicy seasoning and some hot sauce to it.  I didn’t have fresh dill so used dried dill.  I will make this again.
