Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Recipe From: Shae

Anna made some delightful Chickpea salad sandwiches at Abby's birthday party, and after tasting them, I knew I had to make them for my family. Here is a recipe I found and tried tonight. Brielle saw me chopping the veggies and gave a "grossed out" look, but as soon as she finished her first (whole) sandwich, she asked for a second, and then one for her lunch tomorrow. :)  I love to toast my bread for sandwiches, and I swapped out the original recipe's ingredient of pickles for cucumber. 

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained

2 celery sticks

½ small red onion

1 large cucumber

2 heaped tablespoons of coconut or regular yogurt, or more if desired

1 teaspoon tahini

juice of ½ a lemon

sea salt and pepper to taste

SANDWICH SUGGESTIONS:

Toasted sprouted whole wheat bread, sourdough or rye bread, raw wrap or lettuce cups

Avocado, mashed

Sliced pickles

salad greens

Sliced tomatoes

sprouts

Instructions:

Finely dice the celery, red onion and cucumber.

Mash the chickpeas with a fork then combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Toast your bread of choice, spread on chickpea salad, assemble desired sandwich ingredients on top. 
Enjoy!
