Drain and rinse the can of organic garbanzo beans.

Add 1 cup of the drained beans into a medium-sized bowl.

Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and spoon out the avocado meat into the bowl with the beans.

Use a potato masher to mash the chickpeas and avocado together until the chickpeas are no longer circular but not pureed.

Add 2 cups of chopped walnut halves into the bowl.

Add approximately 1 cup of chopped celery into the bowl (start with half and adjust as desired).

Add 1 cup of dried cranberries into the bowl.

Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor.

Fold all the ingredients together until mixed well.

Toast 2 slices of whole wheat sprouted bread.

Spread a little organic yellow mustard onto the toasted bread to prevent it from being dry.

Spoon the chickpea salad mixture onto one slice of the bread and top with the other slice.
