CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES



Chickpea Salad Sandwiches image

Chickpeas are high in fiber and protein, so they're the perfect snack. I like the taste of them because they remind me a little bit of black-eyed peas, which I love! Combine them with avocado, a little mayo, and a dash of lime juice, and you've got a light-tasting summer salad that will really fill you up. Yum!

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic

4 whole-wheat pitas
1/2 English cucumber, sliced thin, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chickpea salad: In a medium bowl, using a fork or pastry blender, mash the chickpeas and avocado together until incorporated, but still chunky.

CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH



Chickpea Salad Sandwich image

This quick recipe makes simple canned chickpeas into a bold and hearty vegetarian meal. Chickpeas are mashed in a creamy, rich lemon-tahini dressing, then mixed with crunchy celery and scallions for fresh bite. Earthy alfalfa sprouts, crisp lettuce, creamy avocado and sweet tomatoes bring contrasting textures and flavors to the sandwich. The chickpea salad can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated. Any leftover salad makes a tasty dip served with tortilla chips or crackers. For a vegan alternative, omit the cheese for sandwiches that still boast layers of flavor.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
Kosher salt and pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
8 slices multigrain sandwich bread
Mayonnaise, as needed
8 butter lettuce leaves
1 (packed) cup alfalfa sprouts
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine oil, tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until well combined. Add chickpeas and mash with the back of a fork or spoon until chunky. Add celery, scallions and cheese, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread one side of each bread slice with mayonnaise. On 4 slices of bread, divide lettuce, alfalfa and avocado, then top with some of the chickpea salad and tomatoes. Close sandwiches and serve. (Sandwiches may sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before serving.)

Tips:

  • For a creamier spread, use canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas.
  • If you like a bit of a crunch, add some chopped celery or red onion to the spread.
  • To make the spread more flavorful, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or mint.
  • For a spicy spread, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • To make the spread more tangy, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of plain yogurt.
  • Serve the spread on sandwiches, wraps, or crackers. It's also great as a dip for vegetables or pita chips.
