Introduction

This reminds me of tuna salad because of the mayo and celery. It's a good sandwich filling for vegetarians or those trying to get more beans into their diet. To make it vegan, just use Veganaise for the mayo. This reminds me of tuna salad because of the mayo and celery.

Minutes to Prepare: 5

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

3 tbsp light mayo

2 tsp mustard (or to taste)

2 tsp pickle relish (sweet or dill, to taste)

1 celery stalk, chopped

1 carrot, grated (optional, but included in nutritional info here)

Directions

In a bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher. I like it a little chunky, but get it to whatever consistancy you like. Then mix in the rest of the ingredients.

Put it on bread or in pita, and top with lettuce and/or tomato if you like.

If you use the carrot it will make enough for 4 sandwiches. Without the carrot it might just be 3.
