Ingredients

15 ounce can, drained & rinsed Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
0.25 cup, finely chopped Red Onion
2 stalks, finely chopped Celery
0.3 cup, finely chopped Apple
Juice of 1 Lemon
3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
0.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt
0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Slices of Bread
A few leaves of Spinach

Directions

Fully plant-based chickpea salad sandwich that is packed with veggies and protein.

Who grew up eating tuna and egg salad sandwiches?

No doubt they are yum but not always the healthiest. I wanted to put a new spin on these classic sandwiches, a vegetarian spin that is.

I always have chickpeas on hand as they are a great plant-based source of protein.

Chickpeas are packed with nutrients and helps to support blood sugar levels and also benefits digestion.

For added nutrients, I recommend using a sprouted grain bread.

You can use canned chickpeas or if you have dry chickpeas on hand, be sure to soak them in water for at least 8 hours then drain and cook them in water for 30-45 minute or until they are softened.

I am also using vegan mayo here so it is a vegan friendly recipe.

Make a big batch and have your lunch sorted for the next coming days!

Steps

1 Done	Mash Your Chickpeas Drain and rinse your canned chickpeas then add them to a large bowl and mash them using a potato masher, cocktail muddler or a fork! Mash until you can no longer see any whole pieces.
2 Done	Make the Chickpea Salad Mix To your mashed chickpeas, add the chopped red onion, celery and apple. Stir to combine. Next, add the juice of 1 lemon then stir again. Lastly, add the mayo, salt and pepper ad stir to combine. Give the mix a taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
3 Done	Assemble Your Sandwich Lightly toast a couple slices of your favorite bread then add a few spinach leaves to your bottom slice, top with some of the chickpea salad mix then top with another slice of bread.
