Watch the video for stats on what ONE DAY of eating vegan can do – and you might start to understand why I ditched meat/poultry/fish/eggs/dairy and never questioned it again…
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This is a perfect lunch to take to work, along with an apple. Have it as a sandwich, or wrapped in lettuce or collard greens.
You can give a slightly ocean-y flavor with mineral-dense sea vegetables if you prefer a tuna-like salad.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 14oz can chickpeas, or 1 1/2 cups cooked
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 Tbsp green onion, or chives chopped
- 2-3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Avo Mayo
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 lemon, juice
- 1 clove fresh garlic, optional, or 1 tsp garlic powder
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp dijon mustard, optional
- 1 tsp paprika, optional
- 1 Tbsp nori, kelp or other sea vegetable, chopped (optional)
- sea salt, to taste
Sandwich
- 8 slices whole grain bread, or 4 pitas, wraps, or large lettuce leaves
- 2 cups lettuce, spinach or sprouts
- 1 cup tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Puree the avocado mayo ingredients until smooth, adding more water if necessary for consistency.
- Mash the chickpeas with a fork, potato masher or your hands. Mix in the rest of the chickpea salad ingredients.
- Spread some of the chickpea salad onto a slice of bread, or into a pita or wrap. Top it with spinach, lettuce or sprouts. It's great as an open-face sandwich with a big leaf of lettuce instead of a 2nd slice of bread.
- Put the sandwich in a baggie or container, and refrigerate until you eat it.
