Step 1

Start by cutting the avocado in half and removing the pit.  Then, use a spoon so scoop the avocado out and add it to a medium sized bowl and mash with a fork.  You can mash it completely or leave a few chunks if you like.

Step 2

Next, add the chickpeas to the bowl and mash them with a fork.  I like to leave some of them whole so there’s still a little texture to your chickpea salad.

Step 3

Add the pesto, lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper and mix everything together.  Feel free to add as much of the ingredients in as you like!

Step 4

Assemble your sandwich: place one slice of bread down, add your toppings, then add a big spoonful of the chickpea salad and top with another piece of bread.  Enjoy!
