Notes
Tip: Try not to over mash the chickpeas. The course texture adds to the overall enjoyment of the salad. To make nori flakes put a sheet of nori in your blender and blend until you have a course powder. You can buy nori flakes in specialist stores. Alternatively finely cut into very small strips with scissors.
Found this recipe on livekindly.co I messed up and used soft tofu instead and it ended up being a watery spread of some sort, but man, it still tasted awesome! I’m gonna freeze these so I can make a spread out of this cuz it’s delicious. Will definitely be on the rotation in this household. On a side note, the miso (paste) was a little hard to mix and spread, so maybe I’ll dilute it with some water next time? Thanks for sharing!
