Start by draining and rinsing canned chickpeas to reduce sodium and keep the flavors bright.

Grab a fork or potato masher and mash the chickpeas to your desired texture.

In a mixing bowl, add the mashed chickpeas along with cubed avocado, chopped green onion, cilantro, parsley, and a splash of lime juice.

Taste your mixture and sprinkle in salt and pepper according to your liking.

Lay out your choice of bread and spread the creamy chickpea salad generously.

Layer on fresh spinach and thin cucumber slices for that extra crunch and freshness.

If you’re on the move, wrap your sandwich in parchment paper for easy travel.
