																									Chickpea Salad Sandwich with Fresh Veggies and Herbs
															
																
																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.

                                Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
 - 1 celery ribs, chopped
 - 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
 - 1 Persian cucumber, chopped
 - 4 radishes, chopped
 - 2 green onions, trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts)
 - 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
 - 1/4 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives, chopped
 - 1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
 - 1 Dijon Vinaigrette Recipe (see note)
 - 8 lices whole grain bread, toasted
 
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.
