Ingredients:

1/2 cup chickpeas
120g
2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g
1/3 cucumber
90g
1/2 red pepper
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chickpeas:
- If you're using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
- Place the chickpeas in a bowl and lightly mash them using a fork or potato masher. You want a chunky consistency, not a paste. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired for extra flavor.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Cucumber: Rinse the cucumber and cut it into thin slices. If you prefer, you can peel it before slicing.
- Red Pepper: Rinse the red pepper, remove the seeds and core, then slice it into thin strips or small pieces.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Take one slice of whole-wheat bread and layer it with the mashed chickpeas. Spread them evenly using a spoon or knife.
- Add the cucumber slices on top of the chickpeas, spreading them out evenly.
- Layer the sliced red peppers over the cucumbers.
- If you're using any fresh herbs, sprinkle them on top of the red peppers.
4. Top and Serve:
- Place the second slice of whole-wheat bread on top of the layered ingredients.
- Press the sandwich gently together.
5. Optional Enhancements:
- For additional flavor, consider spreading a thin layer of hummus or yogurt on the bread slices before adding the chickpeas.
- You can also add other veggies like spinach leaves, shredded carrots, or sliced tomatoes based on your preference.
6. Serve:
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
- Enjoy your healthy and delicious Chickpea Veggie Sandwich!

Tips:

- Mash the chickpeas with a fork or a potato masher to create a chunky texture that holds together well in the sandwich.

- Toast the whole-wheat bread slices to add a crunchy texture to the sandwich.

- Feel free to add other veggies like shredded carrots, spinach, or avocado for additional flavor and nutrients.

- Season the chickpea mixture with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.

- Spread a thin layer of hummus or your favorite spread on the bread for an extra layer of taste.
