Ingredients
Scale
Green Goddess Dressing
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1/3 cup fresh basil
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
- 2 green onions, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 medium sized avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Sandwich Assembly
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup cabbage, finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/3 English cucumber, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced
- 6–8 slices of your favorite bread
- Hummus, as needed
- Dijon mustard, as needed
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: Place spinach, fresh basil, dill, green onions, nutritional yeast, crushed garlic, avocado, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Mash the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash them to your preferred consistency, leaving some texture for a satisfying bite.
- Combine Vegetables: Add the finely diced cabbage, red onion, cucumber, and jalapeño pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together to mix well.
- Add the Dressing: Pour the prepared Green Goddess dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are fully coated with the creamy dressing.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread hummus on one slice of bread and Dijon mustard on the other. Optionally add extra fresh spinach leaves over the hummus. Spoon the green goddess salad mixture onto the hummus side, then top with the mustard slice of bread. Press gently, slice if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier sandwich, add more jalapeño or include some crushed red pepper flakes in the dressing.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe gluten free if needed.
- You can substitute white wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a slightly different tang.
- Make sure to rinse and drain the chickpeas well to avoid excess moisture in the sandwich filling.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day in an airtight container without the bread.
