Smashing chickpeas is a “clean” and easy way to enjoy all of their benefits quickly. The result is kind of like hummus, but more versatile as a sandwich filling whether between two slices of sprouted whole-grain bread or served open-face-style.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 1
-
2/3 cup Organic Chickpeas
-
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tsp Lemon Juice
-
1/4 tsp sea salt
-
2 slice Sprouted Whole Grain Bread
-
1 medium red onion
-
1/3 cup cucumber(s)
-
1/3 cup Organic Micro Greens
-
1 tomato(es)
DIRECTIONS
1
Using a potato masher, smash the chickpeas with 2 teaspoon of the oil, the lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt in a medium bowl until a thick paste forms. Spread onto both bread slices.
2
Top both slices with the onion, cucumber, and micro cilantro. (TIP: Swap out microgreens for micro cilantro or sprouts, if you prefer.) Serve open-face style or form into a sandwich.
3
Serve alongside the sliced tomato sprinkled with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
