Been enjoying this for breakfast on a slice of Dr Rupy's Doctor's Bread. A great savoury breakfast. I food processed the chickpeas, herbs, mayo, yoghurt and celery together (roughly) and then mashed in the other ingredients.

I used sriracha mayo, as that's what I use. Great!!

So so good. Blitzed the chickpeas and celery instead, because I found it more convenient (dices were too big), but not too fine. Delish

I didn’t have all the ingredients red onion or spinach so I used red pepper and spring onion, added some garlic and used a wholemeal tortilla wrap as didn’t have rye. Tasted fab! Would be useful to know how long the mix stores as made enough for two, hoping to use leftovers for tomorrows lunch.
