Description
These Avocado Pesto Chickpea Sandwiches are easy to make and great for a healthy vegan lunch!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium sized avocado
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce, vegan if necessary
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1–2 cloves minced garlic
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit. Then, use a spoon so scoop the avocado out and add it to a medium sized bowl and mash with a fork. You can mash it completely or leave a few chunks if you like.
- Next, add the chickpeas to the bowl and mash them with a fork. I like to leave some of them whole so there’s still a little texture to your chickpea salad.
- Add the pesto, lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper and mix everything together. Feel free to add as much of the ingredients in as you like!
- Assemble your sandwich: place one slice of bread down, add your toppings, then add a big spoonful of the chickpea salad and top with another piece of bread. Enjoy!
Notes
I didn’t add them to mine, but diced jalapeños would be a great addition if you want some more spice!
