Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained, 19 fl oz or 540 ml
- 3-4 tbsp sriracha
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt, any fat %
- 2 green onions, ends removed and finely chopped
- 1/2 lemon, juiced, or 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Add ingredients to a large mixing bowl: Add rinsed and drained chickpeas, sriracha, mayonnaise, plain greek yogurt, green onions, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
- Mash ingredients together: Using a fork or potato masher, mash chickpeas with other ingredients until they are well combined and chickpeas are broken down. The final mixture should have some 'chunks' remaining for texture.
- Garnish and serve: If serving immediately, prepare your sandwich, toast or dip, garnish as desired, and enjoy! If you’re making this for later, store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
