This spicy avocado chickpea sandwich is a refreshing find! I discovered it on Vegan Richa and we love this recipe! It’s super simple to make, just mash the avocado and chickpeas together, add the other ingredients and mix well. You can create your own sandwich combo. Just use your favorite bread and toppings, and serve with your favorite sides!
At my house, we had arugula for the greens and added alfalfa sprouts. For bread, I used sandwich thins, which I have really grown to love. This would also be amazing in pita pockets. I like using thin breads – let the filling shine! On the side, I served sliced tomatoes and radishes.
I know I’ll be making this sandwich many times in the future.
