Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (about 400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or vegan alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped

Instructions

  3. Add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in finely chopped celery and red onion for crunch and flavor.
  5. Add fresh parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Notes

For a vegan option, use plant-based mayonnaise.

Customize by adding pickles, capers, or spices like curry powder.

The salad can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days. Stir before use if it thickens.

To avoid soggy bread, assemble sandwiches just before serving.
