Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices multigrain bread lightly toasted
  • 1 can (16oz) garbanzo beans/chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup red onion diced
  • ⅓ cup celery diced
  • ⅓ cup red bell pepper diced
  • ¼ cup green onion sliced thin
  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 head bibb or romaine lettuce leaves roughly torn
  • 1 large hot house or beefsteak tomato sliced thin

Method
 

  1. Lightly toast your bread of choice and set aside
  2. While the bread is toasting, drain and rinse one can of chickpeas and add to a bowl
  3. Using a potato masher, an avocado masher, or even a fork, mash the chickpeas until they are chunky but not large whole pieces anymore, shy of being smooth.
  4. To the mashed chickpeas, add in the red onion, celery, bell pepper, and green onion. Also season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder
  5. Spoon in hummus and pour in the buffalo or hot sauce of your choice. Mix together Also fold in blue cheese (if using)
  6. Layer on slice of bread with lettuce leaves, tomato, and 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of the buffalo chickpea salad. Top with another slice of bread, cut in half, and enjoy! (Repeat this step 3 more times to make 4 sandwiches).
