Preparation

Step 1


Place the chickpeas in a large mixing bowl. Using a potato masher or fork, mash about half of the chickpeas, leaving the rest whole for texture.



Step 2


Add the vegan mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, red wine vinegar, garlic, shallot, nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.



Step 3


Gently fold in the avocado, green onions, and fresh dill, being careful not to mash the avocado completely. You want small creamy chunks throughout the salad.



Step 4


Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, mustard, or vinegar if desired.



Step 5


Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop, or enjoy immediately. Serve on toasted sourdough, croissants, sandwiches, wraps, crackers, lettuce cups, or mixed greens. Garnish with extra dill, green onions, cracked black pepper, and paprika.
