Notes
- Nutrition Disclaimer
- A food processor works best to grind the chickpeas into an egg salad like texture. If you don't have a processor, use a potato masher and mash them separately before mixing them with the remaining ingredients.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This doesn't freeze well.
