WHAT MAKES THIS CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH RECIPE STAND OUT

The thing I love the most about this Chickpea Salad Sandwich, is that there are so many topping options, so I never get bored with it. I especially enjoy:

• cucumbers
• tomatoes
• avocado
• hard-boiled eggs
• drizzle of olive oil

You can also mix in the toppings I mentioned right into the salad itself, but if you do, keep in mind it won't stay long in the refrigerator.

MAYO

I am using mayo in this recipe, but Greek yogurt can be used instead. I like the flavor and the texture of mayo better, and I always buySir Kensington's Mayo from Thrive Market (it can also be found ). It is a real, delicious mayo, made with simple ingredients. That's the mayo I feel good about eating.

CHICKPEAS

I am also buying chickpeas from Thrive Market. The Organic Thrive Chickpeas are the creamiest and the best I've tried. But, of course, canned or home-cooked chickpeas would work in this recipe.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICH

1. Rinse the cooked chickpeas and drain well.Add the chickpeas to a bowl, and mash them with a potato masher. I prefer to roughly mash around 75% of them to give a nice texture to the salad.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

3. Spread a generous amount of the chickpea salad on a slice of your favorite bread.

4. Add toppings (avocado, cucumber, boiled egg) and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, if desired.
