Hummus Mashed Chickpea Sandwiches
These Hummus Mashed Chickpea Sandwiches are quick, nutritious, and bursting with fresh flavors for a perfect vegan lunch or snack.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 to 6 tablespoons hummus to taste
- sea salt to taste
- 6 to 8 slices gluten-free bread toasted
- 1 ripe avocado peeled and sliced
- 1 large vine-ripened tomato sliced
- 2 handfuls mixed greens or spinach
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Begin by draining and rinsing the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and improve flavor.
- In a bowl, use a fork to mash the chickpeas to your desired consistency, leaving some whole for texture or mashing completely for smooth spread.
- Mix in hummus starting with 3 tablespoons, adding more for creamier texture. Season with sea salt to taste.
- Toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden brown and crispy to prevent sogginess.
- On each slice of toasted bread, spread a generous amount of the hummus mashed chickpea mixture. Layer avocado slices, tomato slices, mixed greens, and red onion on top.
- Top with another slice of toasted bread, cut sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.
