Salad Instructions

Place your drained chickpea in a medium bowl, and mash with a fork or potato masher.
Add your celery, bell pepper, onion, relish, salt, dill, and mayo to the smashed chickpeas. Stir to fully combine.

Sandwich Instructions

Spread mayo on one slice of bread, and top with lettuce leaf. Add vegan chickpea salad, then any additional toppings of your choice. Cover with the second slice of bread. Enjoy as soon as possible so that your bread does not become soggy. Refrigerate remaining spread for up to 3 days.
