In the mood for a delightful sandwich? This Mashed Chickpeas and Grilled Tofu Sandwich is the perfect choice! Have a couple of them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, because they are filling, hearty and satisfying. You can make them even more nutritious by using whole wheat bread. If you want to make them 100% whole foods, ditch the mayo, and use more tahini instead.
Both chickpeas and tofu are great sources of protein, so this sandwich is not only delicious but also satiating. Serve the sandwiches with baked potato wedges for a finger-licking experience. Going on a hike? You will thank yourself later for packing these with you – they will give you energy, but won’t make you feel sluggish.
Sandwiches are great in the summertime, because you don’t need a lot of heat to make them, and you can easily transport them anywhere you are going. Do you have a favorite sandwich? Let me know in the comments!
