Ingredients

  • 15 ounces canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium stalk celery chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the drained chickpeas to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Use a potato masher until the chickpeas are broken down but still a little chunky. For a quicker option, pulse them in a food processor.
  • Stir in the celery, red onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Enjoy right away on toasted bread, with crackers, or over greens. To store, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
