Mix in the chopped red onion, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.

Spread the chickpea and avocado salad evenly over two slices of bread.

Top with mixed greens, tomato slices, and optional cucumber or shredded carrot.

Store leftover chickpea avocado salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for meal prep convenience.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover chickpea avocado salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The avocado may darken slightly, but lemon juice helps slow browning.
This is a chilled no-cook filling, so do not reheat it. For meal prep, store the filling separately from bread and toppings, then assemble just before serving.
