Sweet & Creamy Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This delicious chickpea salad sandwich reminds me of the creamy classic version of chicken salad sandwich with sweet pineapple, but meatless!
Servings: 4
Calories: 236kcal
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained low sodium or no-salt added
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon dijon or deli mustard
- 1/4 cup finely diced red or sweet onion
- 1/4 cup finely diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 1 tablespoon raw pumpkin seeds unsalted
- 1/4 cup no-sugar added dill pickle relish or diced dill pickle
- dash salt and pepper to taste
For serving
- 8 slices Whole grain bread like Ezekiel or Dave's Killer Bread
- sliced tomatoes
- red onion slices
- pickles
- green lettuce or spinach
- avocado slices
Instructions
- Drain & rinse chickpeas and place in a mixing bowl. Mash with the back of a fork until most are smushed. You can leave a few whole for texture.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients & stir until combined.
- Place a good amount of chickpea salad on a slice of whole grain bread, top with desired toppings, and 2nd slice of bread. Alternatively, you can use this chickpea salad to top a large salad of greens and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Notes
I recommend you use fresh pineapple instead of canned that typically has added sugar. If all you have is canned, then try rinsing the pineapple to remove most of the added sugar. If you don't like pineapple, then you can use chopped apples or sliced grapes.
