Cuisine: Lunch, Dinner, or Snack Idea
Serves: 2-3 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or vegan alternative, I used "Just Mayo" - you can use up to 2 tablespoons if you like it really creamy)
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
 or dijon or some of both (I like that best)
  • 1 tablespoon ume plum vinegar
 (available at most health food stores or asian markets)
  • 2 teaspoons celery seeds
  • 
2 small stalks chopped celery
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Romaine leaves or gluten free bread
  • Optional: tomatoes, pickles, cukes, whatever your heart pleases.
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients (except lettuce or bread and "optional" ingredients) in food processor.
  2. Pulse a few times to incorporate (you’ll want to leave it a little chunky and not turn it into hummus!)
  3. Use as a sandwich filling or make lettuce boats for a gluten-free, light and energizing alternative!
