Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 10 slices whole wheat-bread

  • 2 tbsp spicy brown-mustard
  • ½ cup red or yellow-onion diced

  • 1 tsp dry dill
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • ¼ cup carrot diced
  • fresh-ground black-pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • If using canned chickpeas, drain liquid and pat dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.

  • Portion out ⅕ of the recipe onto a slice of whole wheat-bread. Top with tomato, lettuce and all your favourite sandwich fillings.

Notes

For extra-flavor, toast the sunflower seeds & pumpkin in a hot-pan till lightly-browned. This provides a wonderful crunch and toastiness into the salad!
