Look no further, my friend, you are going to love this Quick Smashed Chickpea Salad Sandwich! It’s filling, protein-rich, fiber-rich, nutrient-packed, oil-free (in case you are following an oil-free diet), can be gluten-free and it’s SO DAMN TASTY! Need I say more? Oh yes, and it’s as simple as it gets. A truly delicious whole foods plant-based meal you’ll be making on repeat. Or maybe that is just me. What I also love about this meal is that it can be your breakfast, lunch or dinner. And you can prepare it a day ahead and store it in the fridge. It’s the perfect hearty, nourishing meal you can grab on your way out to work the next day. I used no mayo to make it healthier. Instead, I made a super creamy dressing with tahini, Dijon and ACV and it’s delicious. The key to making a great smashed chickpea sandwich is to finely chop all the veggies, so you get little pops of flavor in every bite. This smashed chickpea salad sandwich is creamy, tangy, crunchy and SO GOOD. And who doesn´t love a good sandwich?! Though you could also make a smashed chickpea salad wrap or simply spread it on toast or add it to a bowl with some greens and veggies.
