How to Make Chickpea Salad

 
STEP ONE: Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add drained chickpeas.
 
STEP TWO: Mash with a potato masher until the consistency is smashed but somewhat chunky. Or use a food processor to save time and chop the chickpeas quickly.
 
STEP THREE: Add the celery, red onion, vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, dried dill, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
 
STEP FOUR: Pile onto toasted bread and serve right away. Or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
