Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Drain and rinse chickpeas; pat dry with paper towels. Quarter lemon. Slice tomato into 1⁄4-inch-thick rounds; season with salt and pepper.
• Place chickpeas in a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until about half the chickpeas are smooth (leave some larger chickpea pieces for texture- packed bites!). • Stir in mayonnaise, green goddess dressing, and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings). Taste and season with salt (we used 1⁄4 tsp), pepper, and more lemon juice if desired.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add sourdough slices; toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter between batches. • In a second medium bowl (large bowl for 4 servings), toss arugula with Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from one lemon wedge, salt, and pepper. (For 4, use a large drizzle of olive oil and juice from two lemon wedges.)
• Divide chickpea salad between half the toasted bread slices. Top with tomato. Close to form sandwiches. Halve on a diagonal. • Divide sandwiches and salad between plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

- Ease of prep: Quick, easy, and perfect for hot days or on-the-go lunches — no cooking required! 🍲
- Suggestions: Consider adding crunch with chopped almonds, celery, or potato chips. Some enjoyed mixing the arugula into the sandwich.
- Leftovers: Several noted it tasted even better the next day, though a few found the dressing stronger over time.
- Texture: Some preferred the chickpeas more thoroughly mashed; others liked leaving chunks for varied texture.
- Variations: Try adding diced red onion, avocado, or bacon for extra flavor. Swapping in heirloom tomatoes was a hit.
Reviews from our home cooks
The actual sandwich was great! Very flavorful, easy to make without having to do any actual cooking, and great to take on the go as a lunch. The arugula-parmesan salad, however, was kind of bland. Mixing it with some of the chickpea salad made it a lot better, though.
I love chickpea salad, but this, made with green goddess dressing is so good. Did add some diced red onion and put the arugula on the sandwich, not in a salad and didn't use the parmesan cheese. Love the flexibility of the Hello Fresh recipes.
I selected this to have as a meatless option, and it is tasty. The creamy, tartness of the chickpea salad with the refreshing arugula salad. I would definitely choose this again.
I wish the green goddess dressing had been a bit creamier. The overall taste was delish. Im really glad that this was a new dish - definitely a make again recipe.
Nice and creamy. The green goddess dressing paired with lemon was the star. It was like a vegetarian tuna salad, very yummy!
Great flavor. I add the salad to the sandwich. I love how easy and tasty this recipe is. My kids love it too!
Umm... I... I fear this is my new favorite sandwich ever. 😩 The simplicity. The amazing flavors. The crispy bread. I'd add something crunchy to the sando - maybe some potato chips? But oh god I'm already sad I ate them both and didn't save any for lunch leftovers. 😭
Tomato not ripe, had to use my own. Green Goddess flavor was excellent.
I feel like the chickpea mixture needed a different or just a more multi-step recipe. Also, disappointed in the side. Lettuce should have just been added to the sandwich honestly. This meal reminded me of a tuna sandwich; which I feel would be complimented better with lettuce or pickle opposed to tomato and maybe homemade chips or fries on the side. Thank you for providing vegetarian options that are similar to the classics!
This is one of my favorites!! Simple, filling and very tasty!
