1
Make dressing by zapping all the dressing ingredients together in a mini-processor until thoroughly combined and the garlic and chickpeas have been pureed.
2
(do try to make the dressing atleast a couple of hours before making the sandwiches, to allow all the ingredients to 'meld' and 'marry' - even the previous day is OK).

4
Taste for salt, and adjust seasonings as necessary.
5
