Makes 8 sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ¾ – 1 cup vegan mayonnaise
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup dried cranberries, chopped
- ½ red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbs chopped fresh sage
- 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- Salt to taste
For the sandwiches:
- 12 slices of hearty wheat bread
- Green leaf lettuce/spinach/sprouts/other greens
- Stone Ground Mustard (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the walnuts, cranberries, red onion, herbs, spices and chickpeas. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas using either a fork or a potato masher. Mash them until most of the chickpeas are broken down, and the mixture looks chunky. Add in the vegan mayonnaise, spices, onions, walnuts and dried cranberries and mix together.
The mix is ready to eat, but I recommend letting it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes to give the flavors a chance to develop. To assemble the sandwich: Evenly spread ½ cup of the mix to one slice of bread (add mustard if you like) and top it with your favorite greens (lettuce is good, but sprouts and spinach take this sammie to the next level). Add the second slice of bread and enjoy.
