No-Egg Salad Sandwich

 This recipe is great because before my vegan days I was OBSESSED with anything eggs. This smells, feels, and tastes like the real deal. 

Time: 15 minutes

Ingredient List:

Salad:
2 19-oz cans of chickpeas
3 celery stalks
1 medium yellow onion
1 tablespoon dried dill

Dressing:
1/2 C vegan mayo 
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
juice of half a lemon
1 tsp black salt (this is what provides the sulfur smell/taste, regular salt can be used if you do not have it)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp celery seeds
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 

How-to:

1. After draining the chickpeas and giving them a rinse, mash
   them in a medium bowl
2. Add celery, onion, and dill and mix together
3. In a small bowl whisk together all the dressing ingredients
4. Add the dressing to the chickpea mixture and combine
   thoroughly 

Complete the meal:
Make a sandwich with no-egg salad on toasted spelt bread and add avocado, with a handful of potato chips on the side, you now have one of my favorite meals. 

**Additions/subtractions are encouraged for this recipe since it is a combination of several others I have tried.
