- ¼ cup dill pickles finely diced
- ¼ cup red onion finely diced

Feel free to serve this salad with any of the following ideas:

- Salad
Instructions
- Strain and rinse your canned chickpeas with cold water several times to remove the odor from the chickpea liquids. Strain them.
- In a large bowl, smash your strained chickpeas with a potato masher until mashed to the consistency that you desire. You may also pulse them in a food processor.
- Add in all remaining ingredients into the large bowl. Mash and mix it altogether until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optional: if you have time, chill for 1 hour or overnight for best taste.
- Enjoy the salad with the above suggested pairing ideas!
