My girlfriend Sadie is coming over Friday for a pool/cocktails day, and I always like to make food for when she comes over. For by the pool, I'm going to try this:
Mashed chickpea salad sandwich is a healthy vegetarian sandwich that is a little similar to a tuna sandwich.
Ingredients:
- 1 16 ounce can chickpeas
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (use vegan mayonnaise for a vegan version)
- 2 tsp mustard
- 2 tbsp sweet relish
- 1 rib celery, minced
- dash salt and pepper, to taste
- lettuce greens
- sliced tomato
- sandwich bread (lightly toasted is best)
Preparation:
Mash together the chickpeas, mayonnaise and mustard until chickpeas are mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Add relish, celery, and a bit of salt and pepper. Assemble sandwiches with chickpea salad, lettuce and tomato slices on lightly toasted bread.
Makes about three chickpea salad sandwiches or two servings of chickpea salad.
We struggle lots with travel-able food for Hannah being a veggie... you can't eat PB&J all the time... But after trying the recipe above, I might alter it some to mimic our favorite tuna salad, adding in some banana peppers. Yumz.
For dinner tonight, I'm going to bite the bullet and pick up El Myr. Though it'll be rough to not stay and have a beer, or several, I'll to-go order it and eat at my desk. I love El Myr.
