Chickpea Salad Sandwich

The chickpea salad sandwich is a plant-based twist on the classic tuna or chicken salad sandwich. Creamy, tangy, and packed with texture from celery and onion, it’s perfect for a quick, nutritious lunch that’s high in fiber and protein.

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or vegan mayo

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 cup celery, chopped

  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Whole grain bread or wraps

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until chunky.

  • Stir in Greek yogurt or vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, salt, and pepper.

  • Spread the mixture onto whole grain bread or wraps.

 

  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Add diced pickles or a splash of pickle juice for extra tanginess.

  • Swap celery for cucumber if you prefer a lighter crunch.

 

  • Great served with lettuce, tomato, or sprouts in the sandwich.
