Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained, rinsed, and dried)
- 1/2 cup mashed avocado
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 8 slices whole-grain bread
Instructions
- Zest lemon with a zester to get 1/2 teaspoon zest. Juice the lemon using a citrus juicer to get 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Pulse the drained, rinsed, and dried chickpeas through the food processor until broken up and fairly chunky.
- Transfer to a medium bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients, including lemon juice and zest, and mix to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings to personal preference.
- Toast bread. Add lettuce to one side and a generous amount of the chickpea filling on top.
- Add your sandwich favorites; I love sliced Roma tomatoes, red onion, and bread and butter pickles.
- Add the other slice of toast on top and enjoy immediately.
