Smashed Chickpea Guacamole Egg Salad image

Garlicky guacamole and hearty chickpeas add character to this satisfying and healthy egg salad sandwich. If you're making it ahead of time, add a little more lemon juice to help keep the avocado green. Mayo adds a nice bit of tangy creaminess, but can be left out if you prefer.
