NOTES : One of my favorite sandwich spreads that I loved to eat before I became

a vegetarian was tuna salad. When I tasted this, I was amazed that there was a

taste semblance to tuna salad but without the fish. I love serving this spread

to people who hate garbanzo beans. I “lower the boom” after they have helped

themselves to seconds -- –they are surprised that the lowly garbanzo bean could

taste so good
