Ingredients

• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices hearty whole grain bread (for sandwiches)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Fresh arugula or spinach leaves
• Optional: pickled jalapeños for extra zing

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Fork or potato masher
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Knife and cutting board
• Toaster or skillet (for toasting bread)
• Spatula

Instructions

1. Mash the chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining for a hearty bite.
2. Add the creamy base: Stir in the vegan mayo, sriracha sauce, and lemon juice. Mix well until the mixture is creamy and evenly coated.
3. Incorporate the crunch: Fold in the chopped celery and red onion to add fresh crunch and bite.
4. Season boldly: Sprinkle in smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste, keeping it bold and lively.
5. Toast the bread: Lightly toast the slices of bread in a toaster or skillet until golden brown.
6. Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous amount of the chickpea mixture onto two slices of toasted bread. Layer avocado slices, fresh arugula or spinach, and pickled jalapeños if using.
7. Complete and serve: Top with the remaining bread slices. Cut in half and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

“Never be afraid to spice it up! Add more sriracha or even a dusting of cayenne pepper if you want to really bring the heat.”

For a smoky twist, try adding a dash of liquid smoke or chipotle powder. You can also swap out the chickpeas for black beans or lentils for a different protein profile.

If you prefer a wrap, use large lettuce leaves or your favorite tortilla to roll these up. For a gluten-free option, serve the chickpea “bad manners” salad over mixed greens or in a bowl with avocado and crunchy veggies.
