Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp finely diced red onion
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Toasted bread or crackers for serving

Method
 

  1. Mash the drained chickpeas in a medium bowl with a fork until chunky and flaky, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice. Stir for 30 seconds until creamy and well coated.
  3. Fold in the celery, red onion, and pickle until just combined.
  4. Taste, season with salt and pepper, and serve mounded on toasted bread with lettuce.

Notes

If you prefer a colder salad, chill it for 20 minutes before serving. The salad firms up as it rests, so add a little extra mayo when reviving leftovers if needed.
