Instructions
 

  • Place the chickpeas in a food processor and pulse for a minute until roughly chopped. If you don't have a food processor simply mash them with a fork or potato masher.
  • Put the roughly chopped chickpeas, diced red onion, celery, pickles, parsley, and garlic in a medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl mix the tahini, lime juice, Dijon mustard, date syrup, salt, and water. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the tahini sauce to the other ingredients and stir well.
  • Serve over toasted bread. Top it with desired toppings such as romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumbers. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can also serve it with crackers or make a delicious burrito with it.
  • Another option is to skip the bread and make lettuce wraps.
