Recipe
Make the cashew mayo: drain soaked cashews and blend all mayo ingredients together until completely smooth. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice. Refrigerate until needed.
Add the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork — aim for a chunky texture.
Add green onion, carrots, celery, dill pickle, and sunflower seeds; stir a few times.
Add cashew mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, dill, parsley, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Fold in the grapes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon.
