Description:
The Chickpea Salad Sandwich is a bright, satisfying plant-based meal that’s both hearty and refreshing.
It’s made by mashing canned or cooked chickpeas and combining them with finely chopped vegetables (like celery, red onions, and bell peppers), fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill), and a zesty dressing of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. This filling replicates the creaminess of traditional tuna or chicken salad while packing in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Its versatility makes it perfect for a quick lunch, picnic, or even as a light dinner on a warm day.
