This Chickpea Salad Sandwich is loaded with a creamy chickpea filling that includes lots of fresh veggies and herbs. Pile it on some toasted bread with lettuce, tomato, and onion for a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious meal.
CHICKPEA FILLING: Pulse the drained, rinsed, and dried chickpeas through the food processor until broken up and fairly chunky (See Note 1). Transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings to personal preference.
ASSEMBLY: Toast bread. Add lettuce to one side and a generous amount of the chickpea filling on top. Add your sandwich favorites; we love sliced Roma tomatoes, red onion, and bread and butter pickles (Note 2). Add the other slice of toast on top and enjoy immediately!
