This Chickpea Avocado Sandwich Recipe is

  • easy to make in under 10 minutes
  • protein-rich and also filling from chickpeas
  • loaded with healthy fats from avocado
  • vegan!

Use your favorite bread, either whole-grain or sourdough, to make the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy! I would not suggest storing leftover chickpea avocado mixture overnight in the refrigerator. It will brown slightly over time because of the avocado, but it still tastes good!

Chickpea Avocado Sandwich Ingredients

  • Chickpeas: aka garbanzo beans. You can use either use canned or cooked chickpeas. If using canned, then rinse and drain it. I have cooked the dried chickpeas using Instant Pot Chickpeas method.
  • Avocado: I used ripened Hass Avocado.
  • Onion: red onion works best, so that’s what I used.
  • Herbs: I used cilantro but feel free to use dill leaves or some parsley or other fresh herbs you have.
  • Lime juice: I used the juice of half lime. Feel free to increase or decrease according to your preference.
  • Seasoning: salt, black pepper

How to Make Chickpea Avocado Sandwich

You can either cook dry chickpeas in Instant Pot, or if using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well.

Add cooked chickpeas, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and seasonings in a large bowl. Using a fork or a potato masher, smash these ingredients until coarsely mashed. Taste and adjust the seasoning at this stage.
