Ingredients
  

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

8 slices whole grain bread

1 cup baby spinach or arugula

Optional: sprouts for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas and avocado together with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.

    Stir in the chopped parsley, basil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Fold in the diced celery, cucumber, and green onions. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

        To assemble the sandwich, lay out 4 slices of whole grain bread.

          Evenly distribute the Green Goddess salad mixture on top of the bread slices.

            Layer the baby spinach or arugula on top of the salad mixture, and then place another slice of bread on top to close the sandwich.

              If desired, cut the sandwiches in half and top with sprouts for added crunch and nutrition.

                Serve immediately or wrap up for a nourishing lunch on the go!
