Servings: 2 Sandwiches
Calories: 523kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups cooked chickpeas (drain and wash if using canned chickpeas)
- 1 avocado
- ⅓ cup red onions (diced)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 4 slices multigrain bread (or any bread of your choice)
- 4 slices tomatoes (optional)
- handful alfalfa sprouts (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the chickpeas into a medium mixing bowl and use a fork or a potato masher to mash the chickpeas to desired consistency.
- Remove the skin and pit from the avocado and add the avocado to the mashed chickpeas. Use the fork to mash and mix the avocado with the chickpeas.
- Add the red onions, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix everything together with the fork.
- Scoop half of the spread on one of the sandwich breads (I prefer my bread to be lightly toasted for this sandwich, but you can use un-toasted bread).
- Top with two tomato slices and a handful of alfalfa sprouts (if using), and cover with the other half of the sandwich bread.
- Make the second sandwich with the remaining spread, bread and toppings.
- Top with a skewered olive, if desired.
