Chickpea Salad Sandwiches image

This vegetarian riff on a classic chicken salad sandwich is both satisfying and loaded with flavor, thanks to the tangy lemon juice, stone-ground mustard and fresh herbs. We added a sprinkle of roasted pepitas and a handful of hearty baby kale for texture and crunch. Serve on toasted whole wheat bread or with vegetables and crackers for a wholesome meal.

Time 15m

Yield 2 sandwiches (1 1/2 cups chickpea salad)

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise spread
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons capers
1 1/2 teaspoons stone-ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons roasted unsalted pepitas
1 cup lightly packed baby kale
4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Mash the chickpeas, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, capers, mustard, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until the chickpeas are crushed and the salad is slightly chunky. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the salad onto 2 slices of the bread, top with the pepitas and baby kale and then sandwich with the remaining 2 slices bread. Serve immediately.
