Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Submitted by Persona

Ingredients

~2 cups of chickpeas (home-made tastes way better than canned, but canned works in a pinch)
2 tablespoons Vegenaise or other mayo
3-4ish tablespoons of dill pickle relish or self-chopped dill pickles (or if you've got defective taste buds, use sweet relish)
Dash of salt and pepper
Small dash of cayenne pepper (if you can taste it you've used too much, but it really helps the flavor)
Optional: Chopped onion (green or white) or celery or alfalfa sprouts

Mash the chickpeas with a fork. You're not trying to make mashed potatoes, but there shouldn't be any whole beans either.
Mix in the mayo and pickles, and anything else you might to add.
Sprinkle just a tiny bit of cayenne into the mix with the salt and pepper.
Spoon onto bread (nutty whole wheat works particularly well) or pita and if you like spicy, sprinkle on a bit more cayenne.
Top with alfalfa sprouts if desired.

Makes enough for at least 3 large sandwiches, and the mix keeps well in the fridge for at least 2 days.
