Chickpea Salad Sandwich

magpie diner's Note:

Sometimes you just want a simple, good sandwich that doesn't involve faux deli slices. I keep a tin of chickpeas on hand for just such occassions, and never make it exactly the same way twice...but this is generally a combo of ingredients and flavours I enjoy. I also like to add in a bit of flax oil, just to get my omegas in. Served on some toasted bread, this is a quick and satisfying lunch.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas
• 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (I like Veganese the best)
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/2 lemon, juice of
• 1 tablespoon flax seed oil (optional)
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (roasted sunflower seeds would also be good)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• sea salt & pepper

Directions:

1. Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using tinned.
2. In a medium bowl mash the chickpeas with a potato masher, I usually mash about half way so there are still some whole ones left.
3. Add in all the other ingredients and mix well.

"What did you add to this tuna sandwich?" asked the unsuspecting husband. ;) Delicious!
Easy and healthy! Used whole wheat bread, baby arugula, sprinkle or cracked black pepper. Subbed walnut oil and tried sunflower seeds. Served with tomato soup and fruit salad. Made fro Veg Tag/January. Will make again!

This is a great sandwich filling. I omitted the oil just because it's that much fat that isn't really needed and used cilantro for the dill because I'm not a dill lover (in anything other that garlic dill pickles). The walnut crunch is a lovely addition. Add to that the quick and easy factor and you have a real winner. I just put it in a bowl surrounded with assorted crackers and we scooped our way through dinner, yum!

Super Sandwich! I made it just as directed and added one stalk of chopped celery for some crunch. I served it on toasted whole wheat bread with spinach and it was EXCELLENT! It went together so easily that it is destined to be a regular! Thanks for posting!
