Chickpea salad sandwiches are further proof that chickpeas are the most versatile legume in the pantry. Lightly smashed, they soak up a creamy dressing to make a plant-based take on classic deli salads like tuna or egg.

1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 slices multigrain bread
optional toppings: romaine leaves, tomato slices, dill pickle slices and sweet red pepper rings
