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.
