Chickpea Sandwich

 


In a bowl:

15 oz drained chickpeas - mash with a potato masher so there is still some texture - do not blend

1/2 apple - core and cut into at least four pieces - use cheese slicer to get thin slices

2 ribs of celery - use potato peeler to get rid of some of the threads, then use cheese slicer to get thin slices


In another smaller bowl:

2 tablespoons light miso

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Trader joe's Organic Toasted Sesame Dressing  **

splash worcester sauce

1-2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Taste to be sure things taste right!


Combine the two bowls to create the filling!


Makes three sandwiches with no leftovers.


Serve on toast (Dick's whole wheat)

spread low ft mayo on one or both sides

top one side with spinach leaves

Add filling and put the remaining toast to create the sandwich.


I cut each in half and served with two long slices pickle slices.  Very good!


Also had 3 carrot sticks per person.


Inspired by: Dr Neal Barnard's Cookbook for Reversing Diabetes, Tu-No Salad, page 97

His recipe for 2 servings instead of my 3 servings.  

Replacements/changes:

Used 1 tablespoon Trader Joe's Organic Toasted Sesame Dressing (instead of 1 tablespoon tahini)
Used 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (instead of 1 tablespoon red wine or apple cider vinegar)
Did not have 1/2 teaspoon coconut nector
Did not have 2 tablespoon if minced cucumber
Did not add 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Did not add freshly ground black pepper
Did not add 2 tablespoons of water
Did not mince apple or celery, instead used cheese slicer to get thin pieces.
Did not use a food processor to pulse the chickpeas, instead I mashed by hand
Disregarded his suggestion to substitute minced bell pepper or just 1 tablespoon of minced green onions for the celery, cucumber or apple.

Make oil free tahini
