Chickpea Sandwich

[vegelady]

   

     Ingredients:


     1/2 (15 ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and mashed with a fork
     Italian dressing, to taste
     2 slices bread (I used multigrain and toasted them for a little extra pizzazz)
     1/4 cup shredded carrots
     4 cherry tomatoes, halved (I decided to get a little crazy and use grape tomatoes! I know, I need to calm
     down.)



     Directions:


     Mix the chickpeas with some Italian dressing and spread on one slice of bread.
     Top with the shredded carrots, the tomatoes, and add the other slice of bread.

     Makes 1 serving

     Some tips:
     You can stop by a salad bar and grab some shredded carrots and tomatoes if you don't want to buy whole
     containers of either, and feel free to tweak the sandwich to your personal preferences. I like to see it as a 
     jumping off point. Love avocado? Toss some of that green goodness in there!
     Hate chickpeas? Experiment with another bean. And if you suck at bean mashin', try using a blender or food
     processor (though it will have more of a hummus texture—but that's never a bad thing!)

     Enjoy it!!
