When was the last time you sandwiched? With whom, where, why, and most importantly, was it good for you?

True story: the man of my life space eats a sandwich every single day, whereas I’m more of a pack-it-with-and-take-it-to-go for hikes and day trips out in the wild wild woods kind of sandwich eater. 

The man of my life space? Total mayonnaise monger.

Me? Won’t touch the stuff with a 10-foot pole.  

Because I fly mayo-free, I’ve had to come up with ways of keeping the spark alive.

For me, some sort of spread or sauce is essential for a.) holding the sandwich together, b.) adding spunk and flavor, and c.) ensuring the bread doesn’t taste dry and stick to the roof of my mouth.

Which brings me to my next point…

Spoiler alert: hummus lovers, this is going to blow your mind!

Mashed chickpea sandwiches with HUMMUS! Kinda like tuna salad but with chickpeas instead of tuna and hummus instead of mayo.

It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s loaded with flavor, it’s BIG on nutrition!

How to Make Mashed Chickpea Sandwiches:

For these mashed chickpea sandwiches, I simply combined a can of garbanzo beans with a few tablespoons of store-bought garlic hummus. You can adjust the amount up for more delicious hummus flavor!

I then toasted up some bread, smeared more spread on each piece, then loaded up a sammie with the mashed chickpea concoction, avocado, tomato, mixed greens, and red onion.

The end result – a protein-packed, nutritious lunch. The way I see it, you can double or triple the mashed chickpea “recipe” so that you can bring this sandwich to work multiple times during the week.

Enjoy these easy no-cook sandwiches!
