Let’s get this sandwich party started!

To a small blender or food processor, add all of the dressing ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your chickpeas and lightly mash them with a fork or potato masher until they’re mostly mashed but still a bit chunky.
Toss in your cabbage, onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all together.
Pour on the creamy dressing and toss everything until fully coated. This is where the magic happens!
Now it’s time to assemble your sandwich. Spread hummus on one slice of toast and mustard on the other.
Optionally, add extra spinach to the hummus side. Layer on your delicious Green Goddess Salad and top with the other slice of bread. Enjoy!
