Chickpea Salad Sandwich with Fresh Veggies and Herbs

Frida Fisher

Report

Turn a simple can of chickpeas into a protein-packed, healthy vegan sandwich! This recipe takes its inspiration from a classic egg salad sandwich but is completely plant-based. Rather than creamy mayo, a zippy Dijon vinaigrette takes a lighter, more flavorful approach where the fresh herbs and veggies can shine. Feel free to swap in your favorite gluten-free bread. Or, if you avoid bread entirely, simply serve on a bed of lettuce.

Instructions

Mix. Add the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and lightly mash them with the back of a fork. To the bowl, add the celery, carrot, cucumber, radish, green onion, olives, parsley, and mint. Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
Dress. Add as much of the dressing as you like, making sure you coat all the chickpeas and veggies well. Toss to combine.
Serve. Spoon the chickpea mixture over 4 of the toasted bread slices and top with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Enjoy!

Notes

I typically use the whole 3/4 cup of vinaigrette but you can start with half the amount and go from there.
Simply give it a shake or whisk before using. If the oil has separated and hardened, use whisk to incorporate it (it may just take a few minutes to warm up).
Store the dressing and chickpea mixture in separate containers in your fridge, then dress/toast only the amount you want. The chickpea mixture will keep for up to 3 days.
