Chickpea Salad Sandwich

A culinary ode to plant-based simplicity, this Chickpea Salad Sandwich marries the rustic wholesomeness of chickpeas with the tang and zing of vegan mayo and Dijon mustard.

Elevated with the crispness of lettuce, this sandwich isn‘t just a meal; it‘s an experience – wholesome, nourishing, and testament to the delightful possibilities of plant-based creations.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2/3 tbsp vegan mayo
  • 1 stalk celery finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lettuce leaves
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpea Salad:

  • In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher. You don‘t need to mash them completely; it‘s good to leave a few chunks for texture.
  • Add in the vegan mayo, finely chopped celery, diced red onion, and Dijon mustard. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the flavorings as needed; if you want a creamier texture, add a bit more vegan mayo. If you prefer a sharper taste, add an extra dab of Dijon mustard.

Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Lay out your slices of whole wheat bread. If you prefer a crunchier sandwich, toast the bread beforehand.
  • Place a few lettuce leaves on two of the bread slices.
  • Generously spoon the chickpea salad mixture onto the lettuce. Spread it out evenly.
  • Top with the remaining bread slices.
  • You can serve the sandwich immediately, or wrap it up for a picnic or lunch on-the-go. It pairs beautifully with a fresh salad, vegetable chips, or a pickle on the side.
