Chickpea Salad Sandwich [vegan]

This vegan Chickpea Salad Sandwich makes the perfect meat-free lunch. 

Chickpea Salad Sandwich

This vegan Chickpea Salad Sandwich makes the perfect meat-free lunch. Bursting with plant-based goodness, it is hearty and satisfying.

Busy morning and in a rush? This recipe only takes 5 minutes to make so you can take it to work or add it to the kids’ lunchboxes.

So tasty, it is loaded with plant-based protein and the scrumptious flavours of sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and capers.

I love eating this chickpea salad sandwich with seeded bread and always add a few salad leaves on top. The spread is also delicious on pitta bread or crackers. If you would try to make a plant-based alternative to classic tuna salad sandwich, try my vegan chickpea tuna salad recipe.

The quantities are enough to make two sandwiches. The chickpea salad will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
