Chickpea Salad Sandwich
I’ve always been on the lookout for satisfying, healthy, and easy lunch options. As someone who tries to eat plant-based as often as possible, I find myself constantly experimenting with new recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayo
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon preferred)
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Whole-grain bread (or your choice of bread)
Instructions
Let’s make this incredibly easy and delicious chickpea salad sandwich!
Step 1: Mash the Chickpeas
In a large bowl, mash the drained and rinsed chickpeas with a fork until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture. I like to leave some chunks for a bit of bite. You can adjust the mashing to your preference – some people prefer a smoother salad, while others like it chunkier.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the vegan mayo, mustard, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
Step 3: Mix Well
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until they’re evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed – you might want to add more lemon juice for extra tanginess, or more salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread the chickpea salad mixture generously onto slices of whole-grain bread (or your choice of bread).
Top with another slice of bread to make sandwiches.
Step 5: Serve or Refrigerate
Serve the sandwiches immediately, or refrigerate them for later. The chickpea salad actually tastes even better after it’s had some time to chill, allowing the flavors to meld.
