Smashing the Chickpeas is a little time consuming but it's well worth it. When I make this for lunch most people think it looks like tuna salad.

Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich Filling

1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Hi Okie.....thanks for posting this. I hate mayo (yuk) and I make something very similar to this and use plain yogurt. I sprinkle mrs dash into it too....

Also, your right about smashing the beans, I use a submersion blender (if you have one)......you can use chick peas too.....(I keep cans of them around for when I am in a hurry, and just rinse them because of the sodium, but some people may not mind the sodium) I have served this with the yogurt, and never said it wasn't mayo and no one questioned it, they just ate it. Dill weed is very tasty on a bland bean like chick or garbanzo......now you are aking me hungry!
