Chickpea and Avocado Salad Sandwiches

Chickpea and avocado salad sandwiches are healthy and delicious vegetarian sandwiches that are perfect for lunch.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas ((drain and wash if using canned chickpeas))
• 1 avocado
• 1/3 cup red onions ((diced))
• salt and pepper ((to taste))
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 4 slices multigrain bread ((or any bread of your choice))
• 4 slices tomatoes ((optional))
• handful alfalfa sprouts ((optional))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pour the chickpeas into a medium mixing bowl and use a fork or a potato masher to mash the chickpeas to desired consistency.
2. 2Remove the skin and pit from the avocado and add the avocado to the mashed chickpeas. Use the fork to mash and mix the avocado with the chickpeas.
3. 3Add the red onions, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix everything together with the fork.
4. 4Scoop half of the spread on one of the sandwich breads (I prefer my bread to be lightly toasted for this sandwich, but you can use un-toasted bread).
5. 5Top with two tomato slices and a handful of alfalfa sprouts (if using), and cover with the other half of the sandwich bread.
6. 6Make the second sandwich with the remaining spread, bread and toppings.
7. 7Top with a skewered olive, if desired.
