Ingredients

Scale

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 2 green onions, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 medium sized avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Salad Ingredients

  • 1, 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced

For Assembling

  • 6–8 slices of your favorite bread
  • Hummus
  • Dijon mustard
  • Extra spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing: In a small blender or food processor, combine the spinach, fresh basil, dill, green onions, nutritional yeast, crushed garlic, avocado flesh, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and well combined. Set the dressing aside.
  2. Mash the Chickpeas: Place the rinsed and drained chickpeas into a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the chickpeas until they reach your desired consistency — mostly mashed but with some texture remaining.
  3. Combine Vegetables: To the mashed chickpeas, add the finely diced cabbage, red onion, English cucumber, and jalapeño pepper. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss all the ingredients together gently to combine.
  4. Add the Dressing: Pour the prepared green goddess dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss everything thoroughly until the salad is fully coated with the creamy dressing.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread hummus onto one slice of your chosen bread and Dijon mustard on the other slice. If desired, add extra spinach on the hummus-spread slice for added freshness and texture. Spoon a generous amount of the green goddess salad onto the bread with hummus, then top with the mustard-spread slice. Press gently, cut if preferred, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can customize the heat level by adjusting or omitting the jalapeño pepper.
  • Use gluten-free bread to make the sandwich suitable for gluten-free diets.
  • Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • This sandwich is naturally vegetarian and can be made vegan by confirming the bread and mustard are vegan-friendly.
  • For extra protein, add cooked chicken or tofu, but this will alter the original vegetarian profile.
