CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES



Chickpea Salad Sandwiches image

This vegetarian riff on a classic chicken salad sandwich is both satisfying and loaded with flavor, thanks to the tangy lemon juice, stone-ground mustard and fresh herbs. We added a sprinkle of roasted pepitas and a handful of hearty baby kale for texture and crunch. Serve on toasted whole wheat bread or with vegetables and crackers for a wholesome meal.

Time 15m

Yield 2 sandwiches (1 1/2 cups chickpea salad)

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise spread
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons capers
1 1/2 teaspoons stone-ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons roasted unsalted pepitas
1 cup lightly packed baby kale
4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Mash the chickpeas, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, capers, mustard, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until the chickpeas are crushed and the salad is slightly chunky. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the salad onto 2 slices of the bread, top with the pepitas and baby kale and then sandwich with the remaining 2 slices bread. Serve immediately.

CHICKPEA "TUNA" SALAD SANDWICHES



Chickpea

Chickpeas are surprisingly fishy, and when they're mashed, taste a lot like tuna! Mix it with nori and the usual tuna salad suspects (like carrots and onion) for a vegan 'tuna' sandwich.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ sheet nori (dried seaweed), torn into small pieces
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
⅓ cup minced or finely grated carrot
⅓ cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons fresh dill
½ teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
8 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
8 lettuce leaves
8 tomato slices

Steps:

  • Pulse nori in a blender until it's a fine powder. Set aside to let dust settle.
  • Mash chickpeas with a sturdy fork or a small-holed potato masher (chickpeas slip through larger, zigzag-type mashers) in a large bowl until most are broken up. Do not overmash--they should retain some texture.
  • Stir in mayo and mash a little more. Stir in nori powder, carrot, celery, onion, dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and chill at least 15 minutes or up to 3 days.
  • For the sandwiches, slather toast with mayo (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per slice). Layer salad, lettuce, and tomato between toast slices. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally.

After becoming a vegetarian, I missed certain sandwiches that I used to make on a regular basis. In an effort to substitute, I came up with this faux chicken salad-esque spread that is delicious on whole grain bread or in a pita pocket! It is an easy go-to because I usually have everything in my pantry. Substitute any ingredients that you might use in your chicken or tuna salad!
