    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.
