I believe that to make a salad you actually want to eat<\/a> you can’t be shy: you need a bold amount of color, freshness, and texture. This chickpea salad sandwich is no different! I would happily eat the delicious filling by the spoonful, but tucked between freshly toasted whole grain bread this vegan chickpea salad is a downright treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to mash the chickpeas so they get a bit creamy and hold together nicely. Then I load them with my usual suspects: fresh veggies for crunch, parsley and mint for freshness, and olives and green onions for depth of flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creamy-meets-crunchy filling is similar to a classic egg salad sandwich<\/a>–though there are no eggs involved. And a zippy Dijon Vinaigrette<\/a> replaces the mayo for a lighter and more flavorful approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part: like many Mediterranean chickpea recipes<\/a> you can prep ahead and enjoy for lunches throughout the week. Or wrap everything up to bring to work or a vegan picnic when the sun is shining!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
