A delightful and easy-to-make chickpea-based sandwich filling, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then mash them in a mixing bowl using a fork until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.
Mashing the chickpeas to a slightly chunky consistency gives the filling a better texture.
Finely chop the celery, water chestnuts, and red onion, then add them to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas.
Ensure the vegetables are chopped finely for a more uniform mixture.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, fresh parsley, and dill to the bowl, then mix everything together until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Chilling the filling enhances the flavor and makes it easier to spread.
Serve the filling on whole grain bread, in pita pockets, or as a dip with crackers. Enjoy your meal!
Add fresh lettuce and tomato slices for extra crunch and flavor.
