Drain and rinse the chickpeas, pat dry, and mash them in a bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken up.
Finely chop the celery and pickles and add them to the chickpeas with the vegan mayo, mustard and juice of half the lemon.
Stir well and season with salt and pepper; add more lemon or mayo to taste.
Toast the bread if you like, about 5 minutes. Pile onto bread with lettuce and sliced tomato. For picky kids, serve the chickpea salad with crackers and cucumber slices instead.
Leftover filling keeps 3 days in the fridge for lunches.
