Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chickpeas two 15 oz cans, rinsed and drained
  • cup vegan mayo storebought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoons kala namak or more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 ribs celery finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped dill plus more for garnish
  • paprika for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, use an avocado masher or a strong fork to mash the chickpeas well. They should retain some of their texture and not appear pureed. A few whole ones left are ok.
  • Mix in the mayo, mustard, pickle relish, kala namak, turmeric, and black pepper. Mash a little bit more. Fold in the celery and dill. Taste for kala namak and adjust as needed — saltiness varies from brand to brand.
  • Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Serve on sandwiches, stuffed into an avocado, scooped onto salad, or on open-faced toast with sliced radishes, olive oil, and flaky salt.
