Easy Chickpea Salad Sandwich Recipe

Method

  1. 1

    Place the chickpeas, avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, cilantro, scallions, cayenne pepper and paprika in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Roughly mash the ingredients together leaving some chunks of avocado and some whole chickpeas.

  3. 3

    Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Lightly toast the bread and assemble the sandwiches with the chickpea salad and your favorite toppings.

  5. 5

    I like to add sprouts, shredded carrots, radish and feta cheese.

Notes

This chickpea salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days, so it's great for meal prepping. Store the filling separately from the bread. Canned chickpeas vary in moisture. If yours seem dry, add an extra spoonful of Greek yogurt. If they seem wet, drain and pat them dry before mashing. For a low carb option, skip the bread and serve the salad in lettuce wraps instead. If you prefer a smoother texture, mash everything until fully combined instead of leaving chunks. To make this vegan, use vegan yogurt, skip the yogurt entirely, or swap in a creamy vegan mayo. For a Lebanese-leaning twist, swap the paprika and cayenne for za'atar or a pinch of Aleppo pepper.
