Welcome back to Plants Not Plastic. I'm Nikita and today I'm bringing you a recipe that is a functional replacement for classic tuna salad.

Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas and transferring them to a large bowl.

Mash the chickpeas with a potato masher until there are no whole chickpeas left, being careful not to over-mash.

Dice the celery into desired size pieces, cutting them in half or thirds depending on the size of the celery.

Finely dice a third of a medium red onion.

Add the diced celery and red onion to the mashed chickpeas.

Mix in 3 tablespoons of mustard and 4 tablespoons of sweet relish.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and salt to taste.

Stir everything together until well combined.
