Directions
Pour the chickpeas in a bowl and mash them roughly with a fork. You can mash them as much or as little as you’d like. We like to leave the mash fairly chunky.
Mash the mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper into the chickpeas.
Fold in the celery, red bell pepper and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Build your sandwiches with the chickpea salad on the bottom and layer the tomato, red onion and greens on top. You can drizzle some more buffalo mayo on top to help hold the sandwich together. Slice and eat!
Recipe Note
Play around with how much you mash up the chickpeas. We roughly mashed most of the chickpeas and even left a few mostly whole, but feel free to mash them thoroughly.
Dill or parsley are great fresh herbs to add, but you can also used dried herbs if you don’t have them on hand.
In lieu of bread, wrap the chickpea salad in lettuce or collard green wraps.
