I’ve been a big fan of mock tuna salad recipes for years. I make them like my mom used to make tuna salad, with mayo and pickle relish, but every now and then I want to kick it up a notch. This recipe is one of the ways I go “next-level” with my chickpea salad.
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas into a medium sized bowl and roughly mash them with a potato masher. Alternatively, pulse chop them in a food processor until mashed but not puréed.
Add all the remaining ingredients and dressing, mix well.
Serve as a sandwich with lettuce and tomato, or on a bed of greens.
