    Chickpea Salad Sandwich

    July 9, 2019 by Jenna Urben 22 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Chickpea Salad Sandwich is the perfect make-ahead lunch. Combine chickpeas with veggies, vegan yogurt, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and fresh dill for a protein-packed meal.

    When I think back on my favorite lunches or after school snacks, a few meals come to mind. Pizza pockets, bagel bites, and chicken salad sandwiches.

    As most of y'all know, I'm not a huge meat eater and I love chickpeas! It was only a matter of time until I veganized this family favorite.

    It's filling and tasty enough even meat eaters will enjoy it! It's one of my go-to lunches because of how fast it comes together and how well it stays for leftovers.

    You can have it on its own, piled high on toasted bread, in a wrap, spooned in a pita pocket, or on a bed of lettuce. The addition of the fresh dill really brings all the flavors together, so try not to skip on that step.

    How To Make A Chickpea Salad Sandwich

    Start by mashing the chickpeas once they've been drained and rinsed. Then add the chopped celery, bell pepper, red onion, and carrots. Give everything a good stir then mix in the vegan yogurt, dijon mustard, ACV, salt and pepper. When serving, don't forget that fresh dill!

    What other classic recipes do you want to see veganized or made allergy-friendly? Please share with me in the comments, I'd love to chat!

        I just love chickpea salad, but I've never tried making it with dairy-free yogurt! This looks fantastic. It looks great how chunky you left it. I usually go for the full mash, but might try it this way next time.

        Oh yum!! What a perfect, light summer lunch or dinner. It would be great in a tortilla too I think :-).

        Yum! I love chickpeas - hummus, falafel, roasted...but I've never had them as a salad. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
