Chickpea Avocado Sandwich

I love, love Chickpea Avocado sandwiches.  I hope you enjoy them too.  Just not too often, contains a lot of fat from avocados. I used my brown bread that I baked before.  You can use whole wheat bread, just read label for salt, sugar and oils.  That is why I like making my own because I can control the ingredients and the amounts.

Chickpea Avocado Sandwich Spread

1 can Chickpeas - drained & rinsed (save brine from can)

1 Avocado medium - diced

1/2 Onion - diced (red, yellow or white)

2 Celery Ribs - diced

Pulse chickpeas until coarse.  Place in large mixing bowl, add rest of ingredients and mix.  

Dressing

1 Avocado medium

1/2 - 1/4 Lemon  (squeeze to about 2 Tbsp)

1/4 - 1/3 cup Chickpea brine

With hand blender, blend Avocado and lemon juice.  Slowly add brine to desired consistency.  A little thinner than mayo.

Add completed dressing to Chickpea Avocado mixture and mix thoroughly adding salt & pepper to taste.  

Spread on bread and add lettuce, tomatoes,..etc.  You may garnish with any of your favorites - cucumber slices, sprouts, shredded carrots, cabbage......etc.
