Instructions

Chickpea Salad

  • Place drained and rinsed chickpeas in a small bowl. With a fork, lightly mash about half. Add mayonnaise, red onion, dill, garlic, salt, pepper. Mix to combine, then stir in lettuce. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Add the chickpea salad to four slices of fresh or toasted bread.
    Garnish Ideas: capers, fresh dill, sesame seeds, pea shoots, sunflower seeds, sprouts, and ground pepper.

Egg Salad

  • On a cutting board or in the small bowl being used to make this salad, chop chilled hardboiled eggs haphazardly. Add mayonnaise, mustard(s), onion, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Add the egg salad to three slices of fresh or toasted bread.
    Garnish Ideas- sliced egg, chives, fresh dill, cayenne, mustard seeds, sprouts, pea shoots, ground pepper.

Notes

  • I prefer dried dill in the salad and fresh on top. If you prefer fresh inside the salad, the conversion is 1-1/2 teaspoons vs. 1/2 dried.
