Ingredients

Chickpea Salad

15 oz chickpeas Canned or cooked from dry
1 cup celery
1/3 cup green onion
1/3 cup red onion
1/4 cup jalapeno Diced. Optional
1/4 cup Sunflower seeds Optional
1/4 cup grapes and/or raisins Optional
1/2 cup Lime and herb dressing

Optional sandwich ingredients

2 slices whole grain bread
1/3 cup mixed greens
tomatoes, avocado, pickles Optional
2 Tbsp Lime and herb dressing Drizzled or spread

Instructions

Finely dice the celery, green onions, red onion and add add these ingredients along with the chickpeas to a food processor and
Pulse until well combined (see photograph). If you decide to add the optional ingredients, I recommend slicing the grapes in half and stirring in by hand. If not using a food processor, mash the chickpeas and then stir in the other ingredients by hand.
Add the 1/2 cup of lime herbed dressing to the mixture, and stir by hand to combine.
Assemble your sandwich. Toast your bread if desired, and add 1/4 of the mixture to your sandwich. Layer the greens and other toppings, and drizzle a bit of additional dressing on top. Enjoy!
