Please go to the "chickpea salad sandwich" recipe to learn how to easily handle and cook chickpeas.

Once you've got that one done, with a fork, mash the cooked chickpeas a little bit. The preferred texture would be somewhere between chunky and smooth. You definitely don't want a smooth texture, so stay on the chunkier side.

Chop the pepper, chives, heart of palm and onion and place in a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, and mix well. Refrigerate until served.

Serve in a sandwich with fresh lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes, or simply serve as a salad for brunch, with other veggies, spreads and baked goods!
