Smashed Chickpea Salad Sammies
This recipe is close to my heart as it was the first recipe I wrote for the restaurant I worked at for 8 years. I wanted to create a soy free alternative to our tofu egg salad, and with the help of some Kala Namak salt, my Smashed Chickpea Salad eats like a delicious tuna salad without the fish! Crisp veggies, mayo, smashed chickpeas, and toasty, grilled bread.

- Add the drained & rinsed chickpeas to a medium sized mixing bowl and mash them up with a fork / potato masher. No whole chickpeas should remain. Add the cucumber, onion, celery, dill, and parsley to the bowl and stir everything together. Lastly, sprinkle in the black salt & cracked pepper, and fold in the mayo until everything is nice and combined. Add additional mayo for a creamier salad / if needed.
- Refrigerate the salad for 30+ minutes to firm up a touch and allow the flavours to come together.
- S A M M I E S - Toast / grill your bread until nice and golden & crispy. Butter both slices and layer your crispy lettuce, sliced toms seasoned with salt & pepper, and a few good scoops of the chickpea salad to coat the slice. Press your top slice down, slice your sammies in half, and serve.
- ENJOY!
Notes
- Recipe makes enough for two large sourdough sandwiches. If you used smaller bread, you could probably make 3 sandwiches.
- This salad is also great served on top of crispy crackers, or even crisp, fresh cucumber slices for a fresher, lighter approach.
