A smashed chickpea sandwich is quick and delicious lunch to toss together. This recipe makes enough for 4 sandwiches and will keep super well in the fridge for future lunches.

This sandwich is basically a vegan egg salad sandwich. It got the briney pickle flavour and lots or crunch from the celery and chickpeas. It hits all the flavour marks and doesn’t require you to boil any eggs!

Chickpea Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayo
  • 1/4 cup celery chopped
  • 1/3 cup dill pickles
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Tips & Tricks:

  • Chickpeas: To get a smoother chickpea smash remove as many of the skins from the chickpeas as possible after rinsing. You can mash these with a fork or a potato masher. If you don’t like the chunky texture you can also blend them in a food processor for a smoother outcome.
  • Toast: Toast your bread to maintain your sandwich structure. The mayo if left will soften the bread significantly.
  • Toppings: I like to add the standard sandwich toppings like, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and micro greens.
  • You can add some black salt to get a more egg like flavour.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
