Smashed Chickpea Green Goddess Sandwiches
The best summer lunch -- green goddess sandwiches. We'll smash the chickpeas and combine it with softened goat cheese and fresh chopped herbs, then load it between two slices of bread with tons of freshy fresh green veggies like spinach, cucumbers, and avocados.
Servings: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
Smashed chickpea spread:
- ¾ cup cooked chickpeas
- 1 4 ounce log goat cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic pressed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Sandwiches:
- 8 slices of bread
- baby spinach
- sliced avocados
- sliced cucumbers
Instructions
- Smashed chickpea spread: Place the chickpeas in a shallow bowl. Use a potato masher or what I find works a little better is a heavy-bottom glass to smash the chickpeas. Add the remaining spread ingredients along with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and combine using a rubber spatula.
- Sandwich: Spread the prepared chickpea spread onto 4 slices of bread, add all your desired greens, like baby spinach, cucumbers, avocados, and top with another slice of bread. Any leftover chickpea spread can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
