Ingredients
FOR THE SANDWICH
- bread
- leafy greens (I used arugula)
- buffalo chickpea salad (recipe below)
- red cabbage or thinly sliced red onion
BUFFALO CHICKPEA SALAD
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (drained + rinsed)
- 3 stalks green onion
- 2-3 stalks celery
- ¼ cup shredded carrots
- 1-2 Jalapeno peppers
- 1/4-1/3 cup plain hummus
- 2 TBSP “red hot” style hot sauce plus extra to taste
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
TASTY SANDWICH SPREAD OPTIONS
- mayo (vegan or regular)
- mashed avocado
- hummus
Instructions
- Drain and rinse your chickpeas and add them to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher and/or fork until texture appears flaked, almost like tuna salad. To make things even easier, break out the food processor and pulse a few times to coarsely mince chickpeas.
- Next chop your green onion, celery, and shredded carrots. If you're not using pre-shredded carrots you can grate them using a box grater then chop into little pieces)
- Remove the stem of the jalapeños and cut in half. Scrape out the seeded center of each half. Feel free to add some of the seeds back in for a spicier sandwich.
- Add to the bowl with your chickpeas and veggies, then season with red hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add hummus (plus any extra to taste) and stir well to coat.
- Lightly toast bread. Add sandwich spread of choice and top with buffalo chickpea salad.
- If topping your sandwich with red onion, just slice it super thin and pile it on. If using red cabbage or slaw mix, your can lightly dress it with a little oil and vinegar and season to taste.
- Add leafy greens, cabbage or red onion, and any extra veggies your heart desires. Enjoy!
