Ingredients

Equipment

• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Bowl for mixing
• Fork or potato masher
• Spoon
• Toaster or grill pan
• Spreader or butter knife

Instructions

1. Prepare the chickpea filling: In a bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas using a fork or potato masher until chunky but not completely smooth. This creates a nice texture for the sandwich.
2. Add flavor: Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors evenly.
3. Prepare the avocado spread: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until creamy. Add a little salt and lemon juice to prevent browning and boost taste.
4. Slice the vegetables: Thinly slice the red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Wash and dry the spinach or lettuce.
5. Toast the bread: Lightly brush the bread slices with olive oil if desired, then toast them in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden and crisp.
6. Assemble the sandwich: Spread the mashed avocado generously on one slice of toasted bread. On the other slice, spread vegan mayonnaise if using, then layer the chickpea mixture.
7. Add the veggies: Top the chickpea spread with sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and fresh spinach or lettuce. Sprinkle fresh herbs for extra flavor if using.
8. Close and serve: Carefully join the two bread slices together, press lightly, and cut the sandwich diagonally for easy handling.

Tips & Variations

“For an extra protein boost, add slices of smoked tofu or tempeh to your sandwich.”

Switch up the spreads: Instead of avocado, try hummus or baba ganoush for different flavors and textures. You can also mix vegan mayonnaise with fresh herbs for a tasty sandwich dressing.

Try different breads: Use whole wheat, rye, or even the Vegan Bread Maker Recipe for Soft and Delicious Loaves to make your own fresh bread at home.

Add crunch: Sprinkle some toasted sunflower seeds, walnuts, or crispy baked chickpeas inside your sandwich for an unexpected crunch and nutrition.

Heat it up: If you prefer a warm sandwich, grill your completed sandwich in a panini press or skillet until the bread is golden and the filling is warmed through.
