A creamy, tangy smashed chickpea and avocado sandwich loaded with crunchy pickles, fresh dill, celery, and green onions. It is a quick and satisfying plant-based lunch ready in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 14-oz can, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pickles
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill, or to taste
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Pinch each fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Whole grain bread, pitas, bagels, or tortillas
  • Lettuce or arugula
  • Mustard

Instructions

  1. Mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or the back of a fork until broken up, leaving a few chickpeas whole for texture.
  2. Add the avocado and mash it into the chickpeas until creamy and combined.
  3. Add the lemon juice, garlic, celery, pickles, dill, and green onions. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir until well combined. Taste and add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper as desired.
  4. Divide the smashed chickpea avocado mixture among the bread, pitas, bagels, or tortillas. Add mustard and lettuce or arugula, then assemble and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • A few whole chickpeas can be left in the mixture for extra texture.
  • Serve on whole grain bread, in pita pockets, on bagels, or wrapped in tortillas.
  • For best color and texture, enjoy the avocado mixture fresh.
