This is my version of the viral chopped sandwich going around. It’s incredibly delicious and crowd-pleasing. Follow my recipe as is or switch it up a bit according to your taste buds. As long as you follow the basis, you really can’t go wrong. If you don’t ever eat bread, you can easily stuff this filling into a large swiss chard wrap. I don’t eat bread super often myself so if I had this more often, I would absolutely be enjoying them in lettuce wraps.
You’ll see from this funny real-life video that I had a hard time doing this with a larger amount of chickpeas. I recommend pulsing your chickpeas in a food processor first. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use some arm strength and a potato masher to mash them down a bit first.

Recipe makes enough for 6 sandwiches. If making for less than 4 people, divide the recipe in half.
Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 hearts of palm from the can, drained and rinsed – I would use the whole can next time – substitute some artichokes if can’t find
- 1/2 large red onion, extra slices to top the sandwich
- 1 cup black olives
- 2-3 ribs/stalks of celery
- 1 large tomato, more slices to top the sandwich
- 7 romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup hummus, homemade or clean store-bought
- 1 lemon, juiced
- salt & ground pepper if needed – hummus has it in already though
- bread of choice toasted or swiss chard wraps/lettuce wraps
Method
- Pulse the chickpeas in the food processor to save time. If you don’t have a food processor, use arm strength and a potato masher to mash down the chickpeas some.
- Chop the hearts of palm, onion, black olives, celery, tomato, and romaine lettuce.
- Mix everything together along with 1 cup of hummus and 1 lemon.
- Add to your choice of toasted bread along with an extra slice or two of tomato and thinly sliced red onion. You could also add to a large swiss chard wrap. ENJOY!
Note: I used Pacha GF sourdough buns from the Whole Foods freezer section in my video. Although gluten-free and super clean ingredients, they are still fermented. When I was healing my gut, I avoided fermented foods all together for a long time. Although an unpopular view, I believe the bad bugs in our gut thrive/feed off of fermented food. I now enjoy fermented food in small amounts – hello delicious sourdough.
