Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the chickpeas until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.
- Stir in the hummus, starting with 3 tablespoons and adding more to taste. Season with sea salt until you achieve the desired flavor.
- Toast your gluten-free bread slices until golden brown and crispy, which will provide a perfect base for your sandwich.
- On one slice of toasted bread, spread a generous portion of the hummus-chickpea mixture. Layer on the sliced avocado, fresh tomato, mixed greens or spinach, and red onion. Top with another slice of toasted bread.
