THE RECIPE

Yields 1-2 servings

prep time: 10 minutes

ingredients:

1/2 cup chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1/2 medium avocado
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
1 tablespoon red onion, diced
1/2 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dill
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
2 slices of sourdough bread (or bread of choice)

Optional sandwich toppings:

Sliced cucumber
Pickled red cabbage or beets
Shredded carrots
Fresh spinach

method:

In a small bowl mash the chickpeas and avocado together using a fork. (I left mine kind of chunky for texture!)
Add in dried cranberries, red onion, mustard, lemon, dill, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Mix all ingredients together until combined.
Scoop the chickpea salad onto your bread and add desired toppings!

recipe notes:

Best served immediately! If you want to prep the sandwich ahead of time, make sure to do it no more than 1 day in advance. Any longer than that and the sandwich will become soggy!
