Ingredients
  

  • 340 grams canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 stick celery
  • 2 dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 80 grams mayo
  • 3 dashes tabasco sauce
  • 2 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 12 slices seedy sandwich bread (for 6 sandwiches)
  • 1 bunch fresh watercress

Instructions
 

  • Pulse the chickpeas in a food processor about 5-6 times, until coarsely chopped.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add all other ingredients and mix until nicely combined.
  • Taste for seasoning. You will most likely not need salt because pickle juice usually does the trick.
  • Build a sandwich with extra mayo on both slices of the bread, a nice stack of watercress, and a big scoop of the chickpea mixture.

Notes

  • If you like it extra creamy, don't be afraid to add more mayo!
