Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.

- Red Pepper: Rinse the red pepper, remove the seeds and core, then slice it into thin strips or small pieces.
- 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.
- Place the second slice of whole-wheat bread on top of the layered ingredients.
- Press the sandwich gently together.
- 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.
- 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.
