Ingredients

  • 1 15- ounce can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
  • 1/4 c roasted unsalted sunflower seeds (if salted, scale back on added salt)
  • 3 tbsp vegan mayo (sub tahini for a more earthy, nutty flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp dijon or spicy mustard (if using tahini instead of mayo, use half as much mustard)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or sub agave or honey if not vegan)
  • 1/4 c chopped red onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill* (finely chopped)
  • 1 healthy pinch each salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 4 pieces rustic bread (lightly toasted // gluten-free for GF eaters)
  • Sliced avocado, onion, tomato, and or lettuce (optional // for serving)
  • 1/4 c hummus
  • 1/2 medium lemon, juiced (1/2 lemon yields ~ 1 Tbsp)
  • 3/4 1 tsp dried dill*
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Water or unsweetened almond milk (to thin)
  • Sea salt to taste (optional // I didn’t need any)

Instructions

1

Prepare garlic herb sauce and set aside.

2

Add chickpeas to a mixing bowl and lightly mash with a fork for texture. Then add sunflower seeds, mayo, mustard, maple syrup, red onion, dill, salt, and pepper and mix with a spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

3

Toast bread (if desired) and prepare any other sandwich toppings you desire (tomato, onion, lettuce).

4

Scoop a healthy amount of filling onto two of the pieces of bread, add desired toppings and sauce, and top with other two slices of bread.

Sunflower-chickpea mixture will keep covered in the fridge for up to a few days, making it great for quick weekday lunches!
