Instructions:

  1. Cook the Potatoes
    Place diced potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water, and boil for 10–12 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and cool completely.
  2. Make the Filling
    In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup lightly mashed chickpeas, cooled potatoes, 1 stalk chopped celery, 2 tbsp red or green onion, and 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley. Stir in 2 tbsp vegan mayo, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, a pinch of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble
    Toast bread if desired. Spread the salad filling evenly on two slices and close with remaining slices.
  4. Serve
    Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

  • Let the potatoes cool completely before mixing — warm potatoes will make the mayo oily and the filling runny.
  • Lightly mash the chickpeas (not fully) — some texture is what makes the filling satisfying.

Storage:

  • Store filling in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble sandwiches just before eating to prevent soggy bread.

Swaps:

  • Use tahini or avocado instead of vegan mayo for a different creamy base.
  • Add pickles, capers, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra punch.

Tips:

  • Great for meal prep — make a double batch of filling and store it for lunches all week.
