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.

Method

Step-by-step instructions

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. Recipe developed by Catherine Jessee
