WOOOOOOO!! This is FABULOUS stuff! I must admit, I am NOT a relish fan, so by bumblebee's suggestion, I decided to dice up some cucumber, soaked in some italian dressing, and added a pinch of sugar as well. I used a bit more onion, and it was absolutely FABULOUS! The italian dressing really added a lovely zing to the recipe, which I believe was a taste I would prefer over the relish flavor and I love the addition of the mustard! Thanks! Served in a pita with the tomato as suggested above. This is a fabulous lunch! I will have this again

Fantastic!!! I made a double batch and used a whole small yellow onion, had to leave out the green onions (didn't have any). It made a great sandwich for lunch. Next day for dinner, I added some finely chopped hard boiled egg to the mixture and used it as a filling for "stuffed tomatoes".....way better than tuna! (Yes, I'm a veggie).

I will add my 5 stars to this yummy dish. I halved the recipe easily and served this with chili cheese corn chips. Great light lunch! Thanks!

I planned on having this with a salad but I'm eating it straight out of the bowl as I type. I made with without any onions and its still great!

I LOVE this recipe !!!! It is perfect lunch material . The only thing I added was a squeeze of fresh lemon and some kosher salt . I rolled it up in a wrap with some chopped lettuce , cucumber and radish . YUMMY ! I will be making this one often !!!

I loved this as a sandwich filling. I made it as directed and left out the optional minced yellow onion as two green onions were enough for my taste. I also stuffed the filling in a pita bread with a slice of fresh tomato and lettuce leaf. Thanks for a different and really great lunch.

Phew, those chickpeas were not easy to mash... but this recipe was definitely worth the effort! I'm not even vegetarian and I think I like it better than tuna salad. The relish makes it nice and sweet and the mustard gives it a great zip. The only change I made was to use onion powder in place of the onions because my mom can't eat them raw. Thanks for a great recipe!

I never have to eat tuna salad again- this is so delicious, and should be in every vegetarian's closet. I'm going to try red onions next time...

Who needs tuna??? This tasted just as good if not better. I made a rollup sandwich in a whole wheat tortilla and it was sensational!!!

Using garbanzos in this way is a great idea. Just wish I'd found it sooner. It doesn't taste at all like tuna but this is a good thing since I'm vegan. I think anyone would enjoy this as long as you like garbanzos. I used Vegannaise, salt and pepper, scallions and finely chopped celery and put it inside a warm whole wheat pita with lettuce and tomatoes. Delicious. By the way, Goya is a very good brand of garbanzos, large beans, tender and with good flavor. Some brands are not well cooked and are too hard. Goya is always great.
