Easy Vegan Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Ingredients

• 1, 15.5 oz can garbanzo beans, drained
• 2 tbsp vegan mayo
• 1-2 celery stalks, cut into bite size chunks
• 1/4-1/2 orange bell pepper, cut into bite size chunks
• 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
• pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Mash drained chickpeas in a medium bowl using a potato masher or fork. Mash until beans make a sort of paste with themselves- ok to have some larger chunks.
2. Stir in vegan mayo, celery, and orange bell pepper.
3. Mix in smoked paprika and pepper. Add more smoked paprika and pepper if needed. ????
4. Serve on whole wheat bread or bread of choice with a side salad and your favorite vegetable chips ????

Tips

1. Toasting your bread gives a whole new dimension to your sandwiches; I highly recommend it.
2. Don’t be afraid to add more smoked paprika or pepper. Seasonings should be adjusted to what you like! ????
3. Try this between 2 pieces of bread and your favorite melted vegan cheese. ????
4. Try leftovers on crackers for a snack the next day.
