Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This nutritious chickpea salad sandwich is high in protein, fiber, and good fat. Made with avocado instead of mayo for a healthy twist!
Servings: 3 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas drained
- 1 small avocado
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- ½ of a red jalapeno de-seeded for less heat and chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped small
- ½ large lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon pink salt or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- toppings of choice like greens, tomatoes, etc...
Instructions
- Open a can of chickpeas and drain. I like to pop off the clear "shell" that's over them and toss them. You don't have to do this, but it makes for a better texture.
- Take a potato masher (or a fork would work) and smash about 80% of the chickpeas leaving just a few whole.
- Cut the avocado and scoop both sides of it out into the bowl with the chickpeas and mix it in well until evenly incorporated.
- Chop up the red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro and mix in well.
- Squeeze the juice of half of a large lime and mix well.
- Add the salt and pepper and mix well. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed.
- Serve on your favorite bread with your favorite toppings! You could also serve with crackers, or on top of a salad!
