Scale
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced pickles
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (vegan or regular)
- 8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mash the rinsed chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Mix in diced celery, pickles, red onion, dill, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
