Instructions
To a large bowl, add chickpeas. Mash with a fork until smooth, leaving a bit of texture. Add bell pepper, carrot, celery, mayonnaise, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well combined.
Crumble the nori sheet with your hands into the bowl; it should be small, rice-sized pieces. Stir to incorporate.
