Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbs vegan mayo
  • 2 Tbs dijon mustard
  • 1/2 small lemon
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 4 slices of bread I used Dave’s Killer Bread White Bread Done Right
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 3 Tbs pickled peppers Mama Lil’s Peppers
  • 3 Tbs broccoli microgreens to garnish optional

Instructions

  • Place the drained chickpeas in a blender or food processor and pulse a few times until slightly mashed but still chunky. If you don’t have a blender, mash the chickpeas with a fork!
  • Pour chickpeas into a bowl and add mayo, dijon, lemon, green onion, garlic powder, a dash of salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Toast bread until brown and crispy. Top each slice with a handful of arugula and a quarter of the chickpea salad. Add pickled peppers and sprinkle with microgreens, if using. Enjoy!
