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.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- 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.
