In a large bowl, add cooked or canned chickpeas, and using a potato masher or fork, mash it a slightly chunky texture. Then add onion, greek yogurt, coriander leaves, salt & pepper. Mix all well.
Serve as is, or build a sandwich. It's also great in lettuce wraps or tortilla wrap.Take a sandwich bread and spread smashed chickpea salad mixture generously on one slice of the bread. On another slice of bread top it with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and onion.
Cover and press with another bread slice over it. Cut in half and enjoy them immediately.
Notes
Tips & Variations
Have cooked chickpeas handy. I love to cook chickpeas in the instant pot pressure cooker. Perfect every time.
Use greek yogurt, mayo, or cream cheese, based on your preference to make the chickpea salad mash more creamy.
Use fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, parsley, or basil.
Choose brown or multigrain bread for healthier choices.
Toast or grill the sandwich if you like.
