HEALTHY Chickpea Cottage Cheese Sandwich | EASY 10 Minute Recipe

This chickpea cottage cheese sandwich is where healthy meets delicious. It’ filled with flavors, made with pantry staples, and done within minutes. Serve it next to a handful of chips and a couple of ice-cold beers or some chilled club soda for the best moment in your day.

To make this recipe, I used jarred chickpeas. Which is the same thing as the canned ones. You can also use dried chickpeas if you like. Just soak them in plenty of water overnight and then simmer them the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until they’re just tender.

For the vegetables, I used a combination of red onions, celery, dill pickles, and garlic. You can mix it up and use different vegetables or whatever you have on hand. If you want a little heat, a dash of crushed red pepper will do the trick.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can make the chickpea mixture ahead of time. It will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

Ingredients

• 1 jar cooked chickpeas (same as canned) 25 oz / 700 grams
• 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 120 grams
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard 15 grams
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion 50 grams
• 1/4 cup chopped celery 30 grams
• 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles 35 grams
• 1 clove garlic (finely grated)
• 2 tbsp chopped chives 6 grams
• 1 tbsp lemon juice 10 ml
• 1 large tomato (thinly sliced)
• 8 slices multi-grain sandwich bread
• sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

1. Drain the chickpeas into a colander and rinse them under water, then shake off any excess water, transfer the chickpeas into a large bowl, and using a potato masher or large fork, mash down on the chickpeas until they are semi-mashed, meaning it's ok if you have little chunks of chickpeas in there

2. Add the cottage cheese over the mashed chickpeas, along with the dijon mustard, chopped red onion, chopped celery, chopped dill pickles, grated garlic, and chopped chives, then add in the lemon juice, and season with salt & black pepper, mix together until well mixed, then gently push down on the mixture so everything is well bound together

3. Lightly toast the slices of sandwich bread

4. Add the chickpea mixture over the slices of toast, and top off with a couple slices of tomato and another slice of toast, enjoy!
