Instructions
- Make the dressing:
Add all Green Goddess dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside. - Mash the chickpeas:
In a large bowl, mash chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly mashed but slightly chunky. - Add vegetables:
Mix in cabbage, red onion, cucumber, and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper. - Combine:
Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. - Assemble the sandwich:
Spread hummus on one slice of bread and Dijon mustard on the other. Add spinach if using, then pile on the chickpea mixture. Top with the second slice of bread. - Serve:
Slice and enjoy immediately, or store filling separately for later use.
Notes
- Adjust spice by removing jalapeño seeds or omitting entirely.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before serving for deeper flavor.
- Store filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Works great as a wrap or salad bowl if you skip the bread.
