Ingredients
  

  • 398 ml canned chickpeas aka garbanzo beans
  • ½ cup mayonnaise or sub with vegan mayo or for a healthier alternative low-fat yogurt
  • ¼ cup dill pickles finely diced
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey dijon mustard or sub with Dijon mustard with a ½ teaspoon of honey
  • cup fresh dill finely chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Feel free to serve this salad with any of the following ideas:

  • Crackers (I like pairing mine with rice crackers for a nice added crunch)
  • Chips
  • Bread cut into slices
  • Lettuce
  • Salad

Instructions
 

  • Rinse your canned chickpeas with cold water several times to remove the odor from the chickpea liquids. Strain them.
  • In a large bowl, smash your strained chickpeas with a potato masher until mashed to the consistency that you desire. You may also pulse them in a food processor.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients into the large bowl. Mash and mix it altogether until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with the above suggested pairing ideas!
