Ingredients
  • 1 very ripe avocado, mashed well
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice, about 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste
  • 1 3/4 cups cooked or 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cucumber, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 8 slices sandwich bread
  • A few handfuls of arugula or lettuce
Instructions

  1. Place the avocado and lemon into medium mixing bowl. I like to it beat with a whisk or fork to get avocado as smooth as possible, but you can skip that if you're into chunky. 

  2. Add the vinegar, smoke and salt. Mix well. Taste-test and adjust the seasonings as needed.

  3. Add the chickpeas and roughly mash them. I like to leave about half of them in-tact, but mash up as much as you like. 

  4. Add the cucumber, pepper, scallions and cilantro. Mix to blend everything.

  5. Distribute mixture among three or four sandwiches, topping each with arugula or lettuce.
