Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 rib celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slices sandwich bread
  • Lettuce leaves, for serving

Method
 

  1. Mash the chickpeas in a large bowl until half are broken into a chunky paste and half are still mostly whole.
  2. Stir in the mayonnaise, celery, red onion, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Toast the bread if desired, then layer lettuce and a generous scoop of chickpea salad on four slices. Close the sandwiches, slice, and serve.

Notes

If you are packing these for lunch, store the salad separate from the bread and assemble right before eating to keep the toast crisp. A little extra lemon juice stirred in on day three wakes the salad right back up.
