Ingredients

For The Sandwich:

  • 2 15 oz. cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 loaf gluten free bread or regular bread if not GF
  • 1-2 tomatoes
  • 1 cup lettuce or greens of choice
  • ½ cup microgreens or sprouts

For The Dressing:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For The Sandwich:

  • Drain and rinse 2 15 oz. cans of chickpeas. Place chickpeas in large bowl.
  • Cut 1-2 tomatoes into slices.
  • Lightly toast a few slices of bread.

For The Dressing:

  • Combine ⅓ cup vegan mayo (or regular mayo if preferred), 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, 2 ½ Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 ½ Tbsp. curry powder, ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional), ¼ tsp. kosher salt, and ⅛ tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined with a fork or small whisk.
  • Grate 2 cloves of garlic into the dressing with a Microplane or small grater (you can mince the garlic cloves finely if you do not have a Microplane) and stir until completely combined.
  • Mash the chickpeas with a potato masher. The chickpea mixture can remain 'halfway mashed' or completely mashed to create a spread.
  • Place a few lettuce leaves (or greens of choice) on a slice of toasted bread. Add a few slices of tomato. Add desired amount of the curried chickpea salad on top of the tomatoes and finish with some microgreens or sprouts.
  • Top with the other slice of bread. Cut the sandwich in half and serve.
    Alternately, you can serve the chickpea salad in a wrap, in lettuce cups, or as a dip.
