Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
~Enjoy this salad on its own, with crackers, stuffed in a pita, between two slices of bread with a thick slice of tomato and avocado or atop a green salad. It’s perfect for taking on picnics or to potlucks – since it’s dairy free you don’t have to worry about it going bad while it sits out.
~ You can easily double or triple this recipe and make it ahead of time. It will keep in the fridge in an air-tight container for several days.
~ It is best eaten fresh, but you can freeze it if you must. Transfer it to a freezer safe container or plastic bag and freeze up to 4 months. Please note: the texture of the celery and grapes will change upon thawing and may be slightly mushy.

~Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas well.
~Smash most, but not all of the chickpeas. Leave some whole or partially whole for texture. Don’t leave them all whole, however, or the salad won’t stay together well.
~Dice the celery and green onions fairly small, again to help the salad stay together. Too many big chunks and it will fall apart.
~Halve the grapes or even quarter them if they are large.
*Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Add more salt or dill or even more mayo or mustard.
