Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Dinner

This vegan chickpea salad sandwich is lemony, bright and surprisingly delicious. It's got all the flavors of a classic tuna salad sandwich—dill, lemon and a bit of garlic—but with chickpeas instead to add a vegan source of protein and a healthy boost of fiber. Celery brings a nice crunch.

Ingredients

2 (15.5 ounce) cans no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
8 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
4 green lettuce leaves
4 thin slices red onion
4 tomato slices

Description

Combine chickpeas, oil, lemon juice, mustard and garlic powder in a large bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, crush the chickpeas until most are mashed but some are still whole. Stir in celery, dill, salt and pepper.
Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on 1 side of each of 4 slices of bread. Top evenly with lettuce, onion, tomato and chickpea mixture. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
