Instructions
0 Drain the can of chickpeas, reserving the juice. 1 Put almonds, carrots, celery, pickles and dill into a food processor. Chop into small pieces and put into a large bowl. 2 Next add the chickpeas into the food processor and pulse until chunky. Take out all but 1/4 cup and add to the bowl. 3 Puree the leftover chickpeas into a paste. 4 Add the chickpea paste, pickle juice, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder and pepper into the bowl and mix well. 5 Pour in the reserved chickpea brine (you can store the rest for future use), and beat with a stand mixer (with whisk attachment) or beater until it begins to get thick and creamy. You can drizzle a bit of oil here if you want an extra creamy result. You can also skip this step and just leave the mixture as is. 6 Add it to the bowl and fold into the mixture. 7 Serve on bread with cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce!View original recipe
