If you’ve followed my recipes for a while now, you’d know I love sandwiches. Sometimes, I crave a healthy lunch and this Salad Cress Avocado and Chickpea Open Sandwich just cannot be beaten! This recipe is slightly different to my usual sandwiches as it’s open, so there is less bread but it is still very filling.
To make this sandwich, I start by toasting 2 slices of rustic brown bread under the grill and top each slice with freshly cut salad cress. I mash a large avocado with lemon zest and juice and divide it between the two slices of toast. I top each sandwich with chickpeas and the remaining cress and serve.

I whipped up this Salad Cress Avocado and Chickpea Open Sandwich for lunch one day recently. It's super simple but just hits the spot. The kids loved helping mash the avocado and adding chickpeas. It was a nice break from our regular sandwiches and felt so fresh. Definitely making this again.
Without meat is the way to go with this one, I'm not vegan but I tried with and without and the meat ruins the flavor so recommending ya'll to keep it off this crunchy masterpiece.
Perfect for lunch I brought some to work and it was very filling and tasty.
It actually is kinda zesty cause the lemon but I think that gives it a bit of a kick which is what's needed for this snack.
