  • Place the chickpeas in a mixing bowl and roughly mash using a potato masher.

Notes

* There are lots of options available now for vegan mayonnaise! You could either use a shop-bought mayo such as Hellmans, Vegenaise or M&S Plant Kitchen... or make you own. My 'Quick and Easy' Vegan Mayonnaise recipe can be found here.
