Print Recipe

Creamy avocado mashed with seasoned chickpeas, crisp red onions, and peppery arugula, all sandwiched inside a toasted multigrain sesame bagel. These wholesome bagel sandwiches are perfect for quick lunches or stylish picnic spreads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 multigrain or seeded bagels, halved and lightly toasted
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 1/2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • Optional: dash of olive oil or tahini

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas and avocado together until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  2. Stir in lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil or tahini for extra creaminess if desired.
  3. Toast the bagels until lightly golden.
  4. Spread the avocado chickpea mixture generously onto the bottom half of each bagel.
  5. Top with a layer of thinly sliced red onions and a handful of arugula.
  6. Close with the top half of the bagel and press gently.
  7. Serve immediately or wrap for an on-the-go meal.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
  • Try adding sliced tomatoes or cucumbers for extra crunch.
  • Make the mash ahead and store in an airtight container with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent browning.
