CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES



Chickpea Salad Sandwiches image

Chickpeas are high in fiber and protein, so they're the perfect snack. I like the taste of them because they remind me a little bit of black-eyed peas, which I love! Combine them with avocado, a little mayo, and a dash of lime juice, and you've got a light-tasting summer salad that will really fill you up. Yum!

CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH



Chickpea Salad Sandwich image

This quick recipe makes simple canned chickpeas into a bold and hearty vegetarian meal. Chickpeas are mashed in a creamy, rich lemon-tahini dressing, then mixed with crunchy celery and scallions for fresh bite. Earthy alfalfa sprouts, crisp lettuce, creamy avocado and sweet tomatoes bring contrasting textures and flavors to the sandwich. The chickpea salad can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated. Any leftover salad makes a tasty dip served with tortilla chips or crackers. For a vegan alternative, omit the cheese for sandwiches that still boast layers of flavor.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
Kosher salt and pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
8 slices multigrain sandwich bread
Mayonnaise, as needed
8 butter lettuce leaves
1 (packed) cup alfalfa sprouts
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine oil, tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until well combined. Add chickpeas and mash with the back of a fork or spoon until chunky. Add celery, scallions and cheese, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread one side of each bread slice with mayonnaise. On 4 slices of bread, divide lettuce, alfalfa and avocado, then top with some of the chickpea salad and tomatoes. Close sandwiches and serve. (Sandwiches may sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before serving.)

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, grill the chickpeas and vegetables over charcoal or wood chips.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can roast the chickpeas and vegetables in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, and spices.
  • If you want a heartier sandwich, add some cooked quinoa or brown rice to the salad.
  • If you want to prep the vegetables in advance, they can be chopped and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to wait to toss them with the dressing until you're ready to serve.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately, or wrap it in parchment paper or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
