The main ingredients are of course chickpeas, along with vegan mayonnaise, yellow mustard, green onions, and salt and pepper.  For extra flavour I like to add dill pickles, dried dill, grated carrot, and a bit of paprika.  The grated carrot was inspired by an egg salad sandwich I had many years ago at a high t...
