There are many versions of chickpea salad sandwiches on the web. In fact, you can even find another version I did here. But when I tried mashed chickpeas with avocado mayonnaise, I was sold! The avocado really adds so much to the recipe. Not two ingredients I would have necessarily put together, but somehow it just works. This little Mashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad Sandwich packs loads of flavor.
The mashed chickpeas (I like to leave some whole for a little texture and of course, aesthetic appeal) are combined with avocado, parsley, lemon juice, green onions, celery, a small amount of vegan mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
I layered the chickpea salad onto a lettuce-line roll (add a bit more mayo if desired) and top with slices of tomato. I like to season the tomatoes with salt and pepper as well.
If you are looking for a super simple & nutritious vegan vegsubstitute for chicken or tuna, this Mashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad Sandwich is the one for you!
