Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup celery diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices whole grain bread

Instructions
 

  • Mash the Chickpeas:

  • Assemble the Sandwiches:

  • Serve:
  • Serve immediately, or wrap up the sandwiches for a quick meal on-the-go!
