1 cup mayo (you can use less if you want it to be a little lighter)
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp salt
juice ½ lemon or 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
dash red pepper
For sandwich assembly:
8 slices of bread (I chose sourdough this time, but grain toast is also delicious)
red onion for topping
tomato slices
lettuce of choice
pickle chips
additional mayo if you are obsessed like me
Instructions
Start by placing chickpeas in a food processor and pulsing several times. Be careful not to over process, as that is how you make hummus. If you do not have a food processor, just mash the chickpeas with a fork by hand. You want to break up the chickpeas so they are not whole. It is alright if a few are still whole as that will add to the texture.
Next, combine chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Mix by hand until mixture is evenly distributed .
Place bowl in fridge to chill for at least one hour. this is the most difficult part for me as usually keep eating bites out of the bowl....but it really is better if you let the flavors merry in the fridge for an hour or so.
