Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 medium Pickle
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise (vegan or regular)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Slices of bread (whole-grain, sourdough, or your choice)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Place the rinsed chickpeas in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using a fork, potato masher, or the back of a spoon, mash the chickpeas until about 75% are broken down, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 3
Finely dice the celery, red onion, and pickle, and add them to the bowl with the chickpeas.
Step 4
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the chickpea mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly combined. Adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
Step 5
Toast your bread slices lightly, if desired.
Step 6
Place a lettuce leaf on one slice of bread, then spoon a generous amount of chickpea salad onto the lettuce. Top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make a total of four sandwiches.
Step 8
Serve immediately or wrap sandwiches individually for a grab-and-go meal option.
