Chickpea Walnut Sandwiches

Chickpeas provide a plant-based and delicious alternative to chicken.

Instead of using chicken try the chickpea, a plant-based substitute in this delicious and wholesome sandwich. The walnuts add a crunchy texture and the honey brings an element of sweetness. This sandwich satisfies all of the cravings. You can also eat it in a wrap to meet any dietary need, or if you're avoiding bread.

Ingredients:

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed


⅓ cup chopped walnuts


3 tablespoons plain, low-fat Greek yogurt


½ teaspoon Dijon mustard


1 tablespoon honey


2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced


4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted


Lettuce, tomato slices, for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, and lightly mash with a fork, keeping the chickpea pieces large.


2. Add the chopped walnuts, Greek yogurt, Dijon, honey, and scallions. Mix well with the fork.


3. Toast four slices of whole wheat bread. Assemble two sandwiches with the bread and the chickpea mixture. Serve with lettuce and tomato slices, if desired.
