Author Notes
If you’re looking for tuna salad, turn back now.
But if you’re looking for more proof of the versatility of chickpeas—if you’re looking for a lunch (or dinner, or breakfast?) somewhere between hummus and chickpea salad, somewhere between a spread and a dip, that’s adept enough to hold your brine or spice or sesame oil—here it is. And you can call it whatever you like.
