This chickpea salad sandwich is perfect for packed lunches. Made using canned chickpeas, it's like a healthier alternative to a tuna sandwich.
Ingredients
For The Filling
- 1 15oz can chickpeas
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 Tbsp red onion
- 3 Tbsp pickles
For The Sandwich
- 8 slices bread
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 tomato
Instructions
- Mash the chickpeas up with a fork until they are very smooth but still a bit chunky. Stir in the mustard, finely chopped red onion, and finely chopped pickles.
- Spread the chickpea mixture on bread of your choice. It's great to toast it first. Add sliced tomatoes and fresh lettuce to make the sandwich.

This recipe is a lifesaver! Our family is slowly going vegan and I wasn’t sure what to make for lunches aside from peanut butter jelly sandwiches. I tried this chickpea salad out this week and my kids/husband/I all loved it.
