How to Make Hearty Chickpea Salad Sandwich

    1. Place the chickpeas into a medium-sized bowl and mash them with a
      fork or potato masher. Lightly mash if you like a chunky bite; mash
      well if you like it less chunky.

 

    1. Add the mayonnaise, sunflower seeds, red onion, celery, seaweed
      (if using), mustard, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), garlic
      powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

 

    1. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add a bit more
      mayonnaise if the mixture looks too dry. Top chickpea salad onto
      sliced bread. Enjoy immediately or after being chilled.
