Buffalo Chickpea Sammy

This spicy chickpea mix can be popped on top of a salad, eaten as a side dish or put between two wholesome slices of bread and eaten as a sandwich!
​It was a hit with my entire family (the vegans and the NON vegans!)  

​I am not big on eating pre-packaged breads daily - but a wholesome bread made with minimal/unrefined ingredients is great from time to time! I like the  organic rye from Whole Foods or Dave's Killer Bread- pretty minimal ingredients and Damon's favorites for sure! 

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (15 oz each) organic chick peas (rinse well!)
• 1 medium carrot - diced
• 1 medium stalk of celery - diced
• 1/2 cup hummus (oil free hummus recipe in my ebook!) 
• 3 tbsp hot sauce
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• toppings like: cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, spinach/romaine etc! 

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl add chickpeas and mash - I used a potato masher.You can use a fork or whatever you think will work best! 
2. Add carrots, celery, hummus, hot sauce, spices and mix well! 
3. Toast bread (or not!) and spread on + add toppings! Or have as a side dish or on top of a big salad!
