Vegan chickpea salad sandwich made with simple ingredients, creamy texture, and fresh herbs. Easy, healthy chickpea tuna salad alternative.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup celery, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 6–8 slices bread, sourdough, whole grain, or sandwich bread
- lettuce (or mixed greens or sprouts)
- avocado slices (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chickpeas in a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash them until mostly broken down but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Add the celery, red onion, parsley, and dill to the bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the dressing to the chickpea mixture and stir until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous scoop of chickpea salad onto a slice of bread. Top with lettuce and avocado if using. Place another slice of bread on top and serve.
