Okay, I know it's a slow start here. This is my third attempt to post. Please feel free to share recipes here.

OK, this is likely well-known by many, but newer to me.
"Chickpea Salad" - I like it on an open face sandwich

Drain a can of chick peas and then mash them in a bowl (I use a fork while watching tv, about 5-10 minutes)
Mix in a bunch of chopped celery and chopped onion (I like a lot of celery)
Squeeze half a lemon into it (maybe a tablespoon of liquid?)
Squeeze/spread some (vegan) mayo on it (I mostly do this because it gives the dish a moistness)
Add some dill
Maybe some salt and pepper (I never add these)

Scoop onto an open faced sandwich (with cheese if you like) and eat.
