- 14oz can of chickpeas, drained

- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 3 tbsp capers, chopped

- 1 handful dill, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Other ingredients
- Sliced bread (gluten-free if needed)
- Lettuce
Instructions
- Smash the chickpeas using a potato masher, fork, or food processor, then add the remaining chickpea salad ingredients to the bowl and mix together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can also add everything to a food processor and gently pulse.
- Lightly toast the bread then assemble the sandwich.
Notes
Mash to your desired texture. You can leave the chickpeas salad very chunky, or very mashed (almost like a pate texture)
Depending on the brand of chickpeas you use, you may need more or less salt and seasoning. Some brands of canned chickpeas have more salt added to them than others.
Lightly toast the bread. This gives the sandwich a nice flavour and texture.
