chickpea of the sea pita


Recently on the Kitchn, I saw an alternative to chicken salad sandwich, Chickpea of the Sea sandwich. This recipe conjures memories of Jessica Simpson and her ditzy claim to fame- I'm pretty sure Chickpea of the Sea sandwich would just blow her mind. I adjusted the recipe a bit, using Sass Smoky Ranch dressing (a new obsession). This makes two pita.

Chickpea of the Sea Pita

1/2 c of garbanzo beans
1 stalk of celery
2 tbsp of red onion
1/2 tbsp of  Vegenaise
1/2 tbsp of Sass Smoky Ranch dressing
1/4 c of bell peppers, sliced thin
2 leaves of lettuce
8 slices of cucumber
1 whole wheat pita
Crack of black pepper
Pinch of salt

Rinse the chickpeas. Mash the chickpeas with the Vegenaise and the SASS. Stir in the chopped celery and red onion. Crack some black pepper and sprinkle a bit of salt over the vegetables. Stuff into toasted pitas.

Like the pomegranate fabric? It is from my cousin's awesome shop Lost Bird Found. Food just looks prettier on pomegranate!
