Chickpea Salad Sandwiches
Hearty and delicious: this simple vegan recipe is perfect for meal prepping, to prepare for picnics, or for an easy lunch when you don't feel like turning on the oven!
This recipe is one that I am beyond excited to share! Anyone who knows me well, knows that I have a huge obsession with chickpeas. My fiancé, Devin always laughs at me because if we are out of chickpeas, I will immediately go to the store to stock up again. Whenever I am using chickpeas for a recipe, I usually have to double my amount of chickpeas just because I eat so many of them while I'm cooking.

There was a time in my life where everyday after work, I would instantly go to the kitchen to prep a chickpea sandwich for my second lunch. For those who read our post for Easy Vegan Breakfast Cookies you will already have heard that while working I end up eating my lunch in the morning, so I am usually coming home overly hungry and ready for my second lunch. Ever since we created our two breakfast cookies, I've been having a proper breakfast everyday. Now, with these Chickpea Salad Sandwiches being so easy to prep ahead of time and so hearty and filling, I no longer need to eat two lunches!
These Chickpea Salad Sandwiches are the perfect meal to prep ahead of time or throw together for a speedy dinner! They are super filling and nutritious which makes it the ideal thing to bring for a beach day or packed away to eat at the summit of a hike.
The chickpea mixture is loaded with incredible flavor and textures in each bite! I used to never include cranberries in my chickpea sandwiches, however, I can't believe what I was missing out on! They add the perfect touch of sweetness that balances so well with the tang from the dijon mustard and mayonnaise.
