Smashed Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Step 1

In a large or medium bowl, add the ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, minced 1 small clove garlic, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, 2 green onions, and ¼ cup fresh herbs. Stir together well.

Step 2

Add the drained and rinsed 2 15 oz. cans chickpeas to the bowl. Use a potato masher to smash the chickpeas a bit, being sure to leave some texture. Use a spoon to stir everything together after you've mashed the chickpeas to the desired consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Serve the chickpea salad on the bread with sandwich fixings if desired.
