  • Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch rounds, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Roughly chop dill.
  • Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch slices. TIP: Use remaining onion for another recipe!
  • Add vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 2 tsp sugar to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Season with salt, then stir to combine. Microwave in 15 sec increments, stirring between each, until sugar dissolves.
  • Add onions, then stir to combine. Place in the fridge to cool.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the fresh, tasty blend of flavors, with dill and pickled onions adding a delightful touch.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, though some found mashing chickpeas with a fork challenging.
  • Suggestions: Consider boiling chickpeas briefly to soften; pickle onions longer for stronger flavor.
  • Leftovers: Makes enough for two sandwiches; consider serving with extra bread or as a side salad.
  • Assembly: Try serving open-faced or with a sturdier bread to prevent toppings from falling off.
