Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine red onion, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, sumac, and a pinch of salt. Massage until onions soften, cover, and refrigerate.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- Return the pan to the heat, cut the lemon in half, and cook cut side down for 5-6 minutes until lightly charred. Cool before juicing.
- Combine charred lemon juice with garlic oil in a blender. Add mustard, vinegar, maple syrup, and salt. Blend until smooth, then pulse in parsley and tarragon.
- In a bowl, mash chickpeas with a fork or potato masher. Add jalapeños, artichokes, scallions, and mayo; mix well.
- Pour lemon dressing over the chickpea mixture and combine thoroughly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- To assemble the sandwich, spread mustard or mayo on bread slices. Layer lettuce and chickpea salad, then top with the other bread slice.
