User Rating 5 Star Rating (1 Review) write a review

By , About.com Guide

Mashed chickpea salad sandwich is a healthy vegetarian sandwich that is a little similar to a tuna sandwich.

Ingredients:

  • 1 16 ounce can chickpeas
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (use vegan mayonnaise for a vegan version)
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp sweet relish
  • 1 rib celery, minced
  • dash salt and pepper, to taste
  • lettuce greens
  • sliced tomato
  • sandwich bread (lightly toasted is best)

Preparation:

Mash together the chickpeas, mayonnaise and mustard until chickpeas are mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Add relish, celery, and a bit of salt and pepper.

Assemble sandwiches with chickpea salad, lettuce and tomato slices on lightly toasted bread.

Makes about three chickpea salad sandwiches or two servings of chickpea salad.

I added some green onion and some cayenne pepper cause my husband likes his spicy foods... definintely a great alternative for tuna salad. Thanks for the great idea!
