These chickpea salad sandwiches are a flavorful blend of fresh herbs and elevated with just a few key spices.  A quick sandwich recipe that can easily be added to your vegan meal prep for lunch or dinner. Whether you decide to have it as a regular sandwich or have it in a wrap, this tasty recipe won’t disappoint.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES

  • Bread: I like sourdough or a soft white, but this is totally up to you.
  • Chickpeas: I use canned chickpeas for convenience. 
  • Vegan Mayo: For a creamy consistency and to bind the mixture together.
  • Gala Apple: To compliment the herbs and for a nice sweet bite.
  • Herbs and Aromatics: Green onion, red onion, cilantro,  and chives.
  • Spices: Black pepper and paprika.
  • Sea Salt: To help bring out all the different flavors.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, I like to do this to remove any excess salt.
  2. Chop the herbs and onions. Roughly chop the cilantro, green onions and red onion. Finely chop the chives.
  3. Chop the apple into ¼ inch bite-sized pieces.
  4. Mash the chickpeas. In a shallow dish, add the chickpeas and mash with a fork or potato masher. 
  5. Mix it all together. In a separate bowl, add the mashed chickpeas, apples, chopped onions and herbs, mayo, salt, pepper, paprika. Mix until combined. 
  6. Sandwich it. Spoon a generous amount of the chickpea salad onto your bread of choice, cover, and enjoy!

CAN I MAKE THESE CHICKPEA SALAD SANDWICHES WITHOUT MAYO?

Absolutely. Feel free to swap out the vegan mayonnaise for a plant-based plain yogurt or about 2 mashed avocados.
