This Green Goddess Salad Sandwich is a vibrant and protein-rich vegan lunch option, inspired by the popular TikTok Green Goddess Salad. It combines creamy avocado dressing with mashed chickpeas and finely diced fresh vegetables, all sandwiched between your favorite bread slices. Quick to prepare and perfect for a nutritious meal on the go.

Ingredients

Green Goddess Dressing

  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 2 green onions, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 medium sized avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • 1, 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced
  • 6–8 slices of your favorite bread
  • Hummus
  • Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Make the Green Goddess Dressing: In a small blender or food processor, combine spinach, basil, dill, green onions, nutritional yeast, crushed garlic, avocado flesh, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, then set aside.
  2. Mash the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash until most of the chickpeas are broken down, leaving a few whole for texture, according to your preference.
  3. Combine Vegetables: Add finely diced cabbage, red onion, cucumber, and jalapeño pepper to the chickpeas. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Add the Dressing: Pour the prepared creamy Green Goddess dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss everything well until the salad is fully coated with the dressing.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Take a slice of bread and spread hummus on one side. Spread Dijon mustard on another slice. Optionally add extra fresh spinach leaves on the hummus side. Pile a generous amount of the Green Goddess salad onto the hummus-spread bread. Top with the mustard-spread slice of bread to complete the sandwich. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Finely dice vegetables to ensure the sandwich filling holds together well; uniformity is helpful but perfection is not necessary.
  • Adjust the mashing of chickpeas to your preferred texture. More mashed chickpeas help the salad bind better inside the sandwich.
  • For extra protein and crunch, consider adding seeds such as hemp hearts or sunflower seeds into the salad mixture.
  • Store leftover salad in an airtight container with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed on top to reduce avocado oxidation. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
