Ingredients

Green Goddess Dressing

  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 2 green onions, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 medium sized avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • 1, 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced
  • 6–8 slices of your favorite bread
  • Hummus, for spreading
  • Dijon mustard, for spreading

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: Add all the green goddess dressing ingredients — spinach, fresh basil, dill, green onions, nutritional yeast, garlic, avocado, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper — into a small blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Mash Chickpeas: Transfer the rinsed and drained chickpeas into a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the chickpeas to your preferred consistency, leaving some whole for texture, which will help the salad hold together better.
  3. Mix Vegetables: Add finely diced cabbage, red onion, cucumber, and jalapeño pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper and toss the mixture to combine evenly.
  4. Combine with Dressing: Pour the prepared green goddess dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly until everything is fully coated in the creamy dressing.
  5. Assemble Sandwich: Spread hummus evenly on one slice of bread and Dijon mustard on another slice. If desired, add extra spinach to the hummus side. Pile the green goddess chickpea salad generously onto the bread with hummus, then top with the other slice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Finely dice your vegetables for better texture and to help the salad hold together inside the sandwich.
  • Mash the chickpeas to your preferred texture; more mashing helps the salad bind better with the dressing.
  • Add extra seeds such as hemp hearts or sunflower seeds to increase protein and add crunch.
  • To store leftovers, press plastic wrap directly onto the salad to minimize avocado oxidation and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
