high protein tuna and chickpea salad sandwich
High-Protein Tuna & Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This zesty tuna sandwich gets an extra boost of protein from chickpeas. Smashing some of the chickpeas into the tuna enhances the texture and helps hold the filling together. The combo of garlic and Sriracha adds a delightful kick, but feel free to opt for an alternative hot sauce of your preference or skip it altogether for a milder flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained
- 2 (5-ounce) cans no-salt-added solid white tuna in water, drained
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 8 slices whole-wheat bread
- 4 leaves green-leaf lettuce
Directions:
- Whisk mayonnaise, chives, Sriracha, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Place chickpeas in a medium bowl. Using a fork, press and roughly smash some of the chickpeas (it’s OK if some remain whole). Add tuna to the chickpeas; stir to combine, using the fork to flake the tuna. Add the mayonnaise mixture and onion; stir until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly over 4 bread slices (about 1/2 cup each). Top each with 1 lettuce leaf and top with the remaining bread slices.
