Chickpea Salad and avocado smash sandwich
Sandwiches are just one of those go-to staples. They are easy and filling, and you can be as creative with them as you want! Essentially you can layer almost anything between two slices of bread for a hardy, delicious lunch. When I went gluten-free, my sandwich game went way down. Bread is just one of those things that I was so sad to give up, I mean- me and bread, we’re pretty close, you see. And gluten-free bread just wasn’t the same, until recently. Gluten-free bread has come a very long way! Then, I decided to adapt a more vegan lifestyle. So now the question you may be asking is, ‘why are you blogging about a gluten-free sandwich that has no meat or cheese on it’? Well, I am glad you asked- let me introduce you to this Chickpea Salad + Avocado Smash Sandwich!

Description
A healthy sandwich loaded with smashed chickpeas, avocado, and veggies!
Ingredients
Sandwich
- Everything bagel or bread of choice (I used O’Doughs)
- 1 avocado
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 tomato
- Spinach
Garlic Tahini Cumin Yogurt
- 2/3 cup vegan yogurt (greek style) (I used Rippl vanilla unsweetened)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cumin (adjust according to taste preference)
water to thin (if desired)
Instructions
- Make your garlic tahini cumin yogurt sauce by blending or whisking all ingredients
together. - Drain and rinse your chickpeas and place into your food processor/blender and pulse until
they are all broken into very small pieces- almost blended, but be careful not to blend
them into hummus! Then place them into a medium bowl. - Combine the chickpeas with 1/4 – 1/2 cup of your yogurt sauce (depending on how
creamy you like your salad) - Cut your avocado, spoon it into a bowl and smash it with a fork.
- Assemble your sandwich with smashed avocado, chickpea salad, spinach, and tomato.
Notes
Store leftover yogurt sauce and smashed chickpeas in the fridge
You
can use the remaining yogurt sauce in this Cranberry Falafel Burger Recipe or this Oven Roasted
Carrots Recipe
Should Vanilla yogurt be used – even if not vegan?
Hi Alicia, you can use a vegan yogurt or not vegan yogurt-whatever you prefer.
Such a great snack! I love the combo avocado & chickpeas, so yummy. 🙂
It’s such a great combo isn’t it!:)
