FOR THE SALAD:

  • 15 oz canned chickpeas, drained + rinsed (chopped in food processor)
  • 3 stalks green onion
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickle (If using this might not need added salt!)
  • 1/4 cup store bought or homemade mayonnaise vegan or regular
  • 1-2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/8 tsp dried dill or fresh, to taste
  • 1/8 tsp salt (or not!)
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 3 TBSP unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
  • 2 TBSP fresh chopped basil plus extra to taste

If not using mayo I add lemon juice , some liquid from the chickpea can and mash part of the ingredients better like hummus to add creamy texture. Sometimes I add a small amount of ketchup.
