So another week begins. I hope you had a great weekend. We went to see the new Jurassic World movie and I really liked it. Then I drove up to Sandpoint yesterday with my sister and we hiked to Snow Creek Falls and took lots of photos and video so I’ll be sharing that soon.
I also did some recipe testing over the weekend. Tell me, were you a fan of tuna, egg, or chicken salad sandwiches as a kid? Did you ever consider what it might be like to star a bean in this recipe? I really hadn’t so that’s why I was extremely surprised at how good it was the first time I tasted one. I think it was a garbanzo bean salad, which is probably the most common, and it was so good I knew I wanted to try one in my own kitchen.
When I decided to make it I didn’t realize I was out of garbanzos so I went to grab an alternative. Pinto beans have always seemed less common to me. I mean, if you love refried beans for taco night then you probably eat them a lot but we don’t think about the refried beans being pintos. It’s similar to how so many tomato-haters still love ketchup or pizza sauce. Sometimes we just don’t think about food, you know?
My brother absolutely detests onions and mushrooms but he has no idea that they’re in so many of the dishes he likes. It’s just kind of funny. So for this recipe I put the salad on bread to make a sandwich but it’s also great with crackers, chips, wraps, or even on a bed of greens. I think my favorite part about it is that you can add all types of fresh veggies that you’ve got on hand. However, I’ll definitely recommend the riced cauliflower because it gives this perfect crunch.
I also added a handful of chopped walnuts and some pepitas for a little more crunch but any nuts or seeds that you prefer can be used instead. This is just a great Spring/Summer recipe for picnics or easy lunches. It takes almost no time to mix the ingredients together and then it’s ready to enjoy. 😉

In a medium mixing bowl, add about 1 cup of the beans and mash it together with the onion, mayo, mustard, relish, and sriracha. Add in the chopped veggies and nuts then season to taste with salt and pepper.

I like your food, I would eat it daily without any problem, another of the things that I like most about you are your photos, they are perfect, you work very clean and that is very remarkable. the grains have many important nutrients, I will try to make a meal as good as yours, I just hope it stays as good as the one you made.
@cruza24 very kind words, thanks so much
Looks like a great sandwich.
Can't say that I have ever made a sandwich like that by myself. I also don't think that I have ever eaten one like this ever.
Apparently, I missed out. Only addition I would make to this would be using a bit of tomate paste on the top piece of bread and maybe a pinch of salt and black pepper.
@paparodin thanks so much for the great commenting
'tis what I'm here for.
There is no source for foodgasms in by own working space here, so I have to get my fixes somewhere else. Feel free to come on over every now and then.
