Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, roughly mash the chickpeas using a fork or a potato masher. You want to achieve a chunky texture with some whole chickpeas remaining.

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of chickpea salad onto a slice of bread. Add your choice of optional toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or avocado. Top with another slice of bread.

Serve immediately, or store the chickpea salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
