Ingredients
  

Chickpea Salad
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed Choose high-quality canned chickpeas for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise Recommended brand: Follow Your Heart for its creamy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped The crunchier, the better!
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced Or use green onions for a milder flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed If possible, use fresh lemon juice.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Bread of choice Whole grain, gluten-free, or even pita bread work great!
  • Lettuce and tomatoes for serving Use whatever lettuce you like; Romaine or butter lettuce are excellent options.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until chunky but not fully smooth.
  2. Add vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, diced red onion, and lemon juice to the mashed chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Mix until well combined, being careful not to over-mix to keep some chunkiness.
Assembly
  1. Spread the chickpea mixture generously onto a slice of chosen bread.
  2. Top with fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes, and lay another slice of bread on top.
Serving
  1. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover chickpea salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best flavor, let it sit for at least an hour before serving.
