Sandwich filling ideas

I love assembling this sandwich with crunchy romaine lettuce, slices of ripe red tomatoes, and a (fucking massive) drizzle of mustard. But you could also use any kind of green you wish, cucumber, or carrots!

What if I don’t have vegan mayonnaise?

I think vegan mayo works the best in this recipe, but you can substitute it with tahini. I also think you might be able to use hummus or avocado – anything with a creamy texture will probably work, although it will affect the taste.

How to make a Chickpea Salad Sandwich

1. Mash the chickpeas to your desired consistency. I like to leave some texture for an extra bite.
2. Add the chopped veggies, mayo, and spices. Stir until incorporated.
3. Toast some bread and assemble your sandwiches!

How to meal prep Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

This sandwich is so easy to make that you don’t even need to meal prep it – it’s ready in just 5 minutes!

But if you want to meal prep sandwiches ahead of time, store the chickpea salad it it’s own container and assemble the sandwich the day you plan to eat them so your bread doesn’t get soggy. You could also protect your bread by lining it with pieces of lettuce so the chickpea salad doesn’t touch the bread.

This chickpea salad will last about 5 days in the fridge.
