Description
This recipe, “Chickpea Salad Sandwich,” is a vegan take on classic tuna salad or chicken salad sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp vegan mayo
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Whole-grain bread
Instructions
Let’s walk through the process:
-
Mash Chickpeas: In a bowl, mash the drained and rinsed chickpeas with a fork until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture. You don’t want a completely smooth puree; some chunks are desirable.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the vegan mayo, mustard, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
-
Mix Well: Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
-
Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the chickpea salad mixture onto slices of whole-grain bread to make sandwiches.
-
Serve or Chill: Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Chilling the salad for a bit allows the flavors to meld.
