Servings2

Ingredients

1 - 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

½ cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

¾ teaspoon ground turmeric

¾ teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Black pepper, to taste

⅓ cup chopped pistachios

¼ cup raisins

2 green onions, sliced thin

2 tablespoons finely diced celery

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

4 slices L&B Minnesota Nice Multigrain Artisan Bread

1 ounce spinach, divided

1 heirloom tomato, cut into 8 slices

Directions

Place the chickpeas in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, mash half of the chickpeas into a paste, leaving the remaining half of the chickpeas whole.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, spices, salt and pepper to the mixing bowl, and stir to combine.
Stir in the pistachios, raisins, green onions, celery and cilantro. The chickpea mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Toast the bread until golden brown.
Top each sandwich with ½ the chickpea mixture, half the tomato slices and a pinch of spinach. Serve immediately.

TIP: For a vegan-friendly version, substitute a vegan mayonnaise for the traditional one and use an alternative bread. Our L&B Minnesota Nice Multigrain Bread contains honey..
