  • 1 can (15 ounce) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons celery, small diced
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • avocado, diced (optional for garnish)

Directions

In a medium bowl, mash garbanzos using a potato masher or back of a fork. The consistency should be somewhat chunky, not puree-like. Add in onion, celery, relish, sea salt, pepper, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix well, until all is incorporated.
