Step 2

Mash chickpeas with a sturdy fork or a small-holed potato masher (chickpeas slip through larger zigzag-type mashers) in a large bowl until most are broken up. Do not overmash--they should retain some texture.

Step 3

Stir in mayo and mash a little more. Stir in nori powder carrot celery onion dill salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 15 minutes or up to 3 days.

Step 4

For the sandwiches slather toast with mayo (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per slice). Layer salad lettuce and tomato between toast slices. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally.
