Very lightly smash the chickpea mixture with the back of a fork or a potato masher. You\u2019re not looking for a hummus-like puree but something closer to a coarse chop with a few smaller bits to hold it together. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, a glug or two of olive oil, mix it lightly and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also awesome as a sandwich on toasted bread. Technically, it needs nothing else on it. But, if you want to doll it up, here are some ideas: A slice of roasted red pepper (\u2018wichcraft\u2019s way), a slice of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/2007\/05\/the-road-to-pickle-proficiency\/\">pickled garlicky red pepper<\/a>&nbsp;(our way), and a few leaves of sharp greens, such as watercress or arugula. Or, as shown right above this recipe, on an open-faced slice of toast first schmeared with a tahini dressing. Make tahini dressing with a big spoonful of tahini, one minced garlic clove, a squeeze of lemon juice, and thinned with water to a loose but spreadable consistency. Season well with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three more delicious ingredients to add, if you have them: Harissa, mixed in, or dolloped on top. A small spoonful of minced, preserved lemon. A larger spoonful or two of olive tapenade, in place of the chopped olives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 tablespoons pitted, halved and very thinly sliced black olives 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley Zest and juice from half a lemon (if you\u2019ve got one of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/2019\/04\/18\/smashed-chickpea-salad\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,296],"tags":[957],"class_list":["post-6826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-salad","category-salad-dressing","tag-chickpeas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6826"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6826\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6831,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6826\/revisions\/6831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
