Ingredients
  • 1 can (15 ounces) Chickpeas, canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup Vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 slices Bread, whole wheat or gluten-free
  • As needed Lettuce leaves

Prepare the Chickpea Mixture

In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they reach a chunky consistency. You can leave some whole for texture if desired.

Combine Ingredients

Add the vegan mayonnaise, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Taste and Adjust

Taste the chickpea salad and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, mustard for a bolder flavor, or salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the chickpea salad evenly onto two slices of bread. Top with lettuce leaves. Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches.

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for later. This sandwich is best served cold.
