CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES
This vegetarian riff on a classic chicken salad sandwich is both satisfying and loaded with flavor, thanks to the tangy lemon juice, stone-ground mustard and fresh herbs. We added a sprinkle of roasted pepitas and a handful of hearty baby kale for texture and crunch. Serve on toasted whole wheat bread or with vegetables and crackers for a wholesome meal.

Steps:
- Mash the chickpeas, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, capers, mustard, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until the chickpeas are crushed and the salad is slightly chunky. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Spread the salad onto 2 slices of the bread, top with the pepitas and baby kale and then sandwich with the remaining 2 slices bread. Serve immediately.
CHICKPEA "TUNA" SALAD SANDWICHES
Chickpeas are surprisingly fishy, and when they're mashed, taste a lot like tuna! Mix it with nori and the usual tuna salad suspects (like carrots and onion) for a vegan 'tuna' sandwich.

Steps:
- Pulse nori in a blender until it's a fine powder. Set aside to let dust settle.
- Mash chickpeas with a sturdy fork or a small-holed potato masher (chickpeas slip through larger, zigzag-type mashers) in a large bowl until most are broken up. Do not overmash--they should retain some texture.
- Stir in mayo and mash a little more. Stir in nori powder, carrot, celery, onion, dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and chill at least 15 minutes or up to 3 days.
- For the sandwiches, slather toast with mayo (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per slice). Layer salad, lettuce, and tomato between toast slices. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally.

CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES
After becoming a vegetarian, I missed certain sandwiches that I used to make on a regular basis. In an effort to substitute, I came up with this faux chicken salad-esque spread that is delicious on whole grain bread or in a pita pocket! It is an easy go-to because I usually have everything in my pantry. Substitute any ingredients that you might use in your chicken or tuna salad!
