A delightful and easy-to-make chickpea salad that mimics the flavors of a classic tuna salad.
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas, then place them in a mixing bowl.
Rinsing the chickpeas removes excess sodium and improves their flavor.
Mash the chickpeas with a fork until they are partially mashed, leaving some texture.
Mashing the chickpeas partially gives the salad a texture similar to tuna salad.
Chop the celery and green onions finely, then add them to the bowl with the chickpeas.
Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and flavor.
In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
Ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly for the best flavor.
Serve the salad on bread, toast, or as a standalone dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor and presentation.
