Ingredients

  • 1 (14 fluid ounce) can chickpeas drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red onion chopped finely
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 heaped tablespoon mayo or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon grainy mustard (such as Maille Old Style mustard)
  • 1 avocado chopped
  • 4 slices bread toast if you wish
  • Sliced tomato to taste
  • Radish sprouts to taste
  • Arugula to taste
  • Lettuce (I used butter leaf) to taste

Instructions

  • Add the chickpeas to a medium bowl and coarsely mash them (I actually used my potato masher to do this). 
  • Add the lemon juice, red onion, cumin, smoked paprika, salt & pepper, mayo, grainy mustard, and avocado to the bowl. Mix it together gently.
  • Toast your bread if you wish. Add the chickpea salad, tomato, radish sprouts, lettuce, and arugula to each sandwich. Enjoy!
