Buffalo Chickpea Salad

• 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 2 Tablespoons tahini
• 2 Tablespoons unsweetened plain plant based yogurt
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2-3 Tablespoons buffalo sauce 
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tomatoes, sliced
• Lettuce
• Gluten free bread (or bread of choice) 

Instructions:

1. In a medium sized bowl, add the chickpeas and mash with a potato masher or a fork. Mash until the chickpeas are a chunky texture.
2. Add in the diced peppers, onions, garlic, spices, tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, buffalo sauce, salt and pepper.
3. Mix together until everything is evenly combined. If the chickpea mixture seems dry, add one Tablespoon of water at a time and mix. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
4. Assemble your sandwich: Add the chickpea mixture onto one side of the bread, top with sliced tomatoes and lettuce, cover with other slice of bread.
5. Enjoy!
