Instructions
- Drain and rinse your chickpeas and add them to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until texture appears flaked, almost like tuna salad. You could also use a food processor as a speedy shortcut - it works GREAT!
- Chop your berries. You can use 1/2 cup or extra if desired. Peel apple and chop out 1/2 cup, approx. 1/4 the apple. (scarf the remainder as a snack!)
- Add mayo, dijon, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper to your chickpeas. Stir well to coat.
- Fold in celery, apples, berries, sunflower seeds, and basil (as much or as little as you'd like) and adjust any ingredients or seasoning to taste.
- Pile high on bread with all your sandwich fixings or enjoy as a wrap, with crackers, on a salad, or simply dive into the bowl spoon-first - anything goes!
