Instructions

In a food processor or mixing bowl, blend yogurt (or mayo), herbs, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth to make the Green Goddess dressing.
Mash chickpeas or avocado with a fork or pulse until chunky. Combine with dressing until well coated.
Spread mustard or hummus on bread (optional). Layer greens, cucumber, chickpea or avocado salad, avocado slices, and sprouts.
Top with a second slice of bread, press gently, and cut in half to serve immediately or wrap for later.

Notes

Use mashed avocado for a creamier, lighter base.

Mix in extra herbs like dill or tarragon to vary flavor.

Keep sandwich unassembled until ready to eat to avoid sogginess.

Swap in gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps for dietary needs.

Add crunchy veggies like shredded carrots or radish for texture.
