Instructions:
- Cook the Potatoes – Place diced Yukon gold or red potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water, and boil for 10–12 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and cool completely.
- 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.
- Assemble – Toast bread if desired. Spread the salad filling evenly on two slices and close with remaining slices.
- Serve – Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
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.
