- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 medium sized avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
- Juice of half a lemon

Salad and Sandwich Ingredients
- 1, 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup cabbage, finely diced

- 1/3 English cucumber, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced

Instructions
- Make the Dressing: Add the spinach, fresh basil, fresh dill, green onions, nutritional yeast, garlic, avocado, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to a small blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, then set aside the creamy dressing.
- Mash the Chickpeas: Place the rinsed and drained chickpeas into a large mixing bowl. Lightly mash them with a fork or potato masher until mostly mashed or to your desired consistency.
- Add the Vegetables: Add finely diced cabbage, red onion, cucumber, jalapeño pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Toss together well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Combine with Dressing: Pour the prepared green goddess dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Toss everything thoroughly until the salad is fully coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Take your favorite slices of bread and spread hummus on one slice and Dijon mustard on the other. Optionally add extra fresh spinach on the hummus side. Layer the green goddess salad generously on top of the spinach, then top with the slice of bread spread with mustard. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, flavorful sandwich.
