Chickpea Salad Sandwich

The hiatus is over. I can't believe that I haven't had the time to blog in so incredibly long. Let me just tell you that senior year is not as easy as it seems! From classes to being sentimental and soaking in every minute of being at school... it is not that easy. But I have been thinking about blogging and just haven't had the free time to sit down and make it happen.. but here I am! I hope that after graduation I can make blogging a weekly thing, one of the more stable things going on by then.

But here we are for right now, my recipe today is the chickpea salad sandwich. Being vegetarian, I am constantly searching for things that will be substitutes to things that I have listened to my non-vegetarian friends constantly eating. This is a great substitute to a tuna salad sandwich, egg salad sandwich - any of those sorts.

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas
1 small pepper (color doesn't matter)
1/2 onion
1 small tomato
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup hummus
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
sriracha (to taste)

In a bowl, add your chickpeas - washed and drained from the can. Chop up your vegetables and add them into the bowl as well. Drop in your wet ingredients aka the mayo and the hummus. With a masher or the back of the fork mash it all together and make sure all your ingredients together. Add in your seasonings and make sure you taste as you go along. I decided to put mine on some toasted bread, on top of a bed of baby spinach. Its definitely something you can eat plain, or as a side to the rest of your meal. I promise this is something quick, and very filling! Let me know what you think!
