As the temperatures begin to turn from chilly to comfortable, I find myself itching to get out of the house and explore. I live in Wisconsin, where it is rather cold from December through March, and the outdoors are calling my name! We have a ton of beautiful nature walks around my home. One of my favorite things to do is pack a picnic and go for a stroll with my husband. I always like to pack a delicious picnic basket with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and a crunchy side. One of my favorite new sandwiches that I plan to have in my basket this year is my famous Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe. By famous, I mean my husband knows about it, but I promise that you’ll want to try it too.

Chickpea Salad Sandwich Recipe

I’m not typically a lunch meat type of person, so I am always looking for new ways to dress up sandwiches. I’m a huge fan of the typical vegetable sandwich packed with spinach, carrots, cucumbers, and more. I also enjoy a good egg salad now and again, which was the inspiration behind this chickpea sandwich. Chickpeas are so inexpensive that my cabinets are typically loaded with cans of these protein-packed morsels. You can easily make this Chickpea Salad vegan by swapping vegan mayo for traditional mayo.

I chose to top off my sandwich with sprouts, carrots, and arugula, but the sky is the limit. If you love cucumbers on your sandwiches, pile them high! If you think that you’d fancy a slice of tomato, who is stopping you? There really is no right or wrong way to create this sandwich once you’ve made the chickpea salad. I also find that letting this sit overnight in the refrigerator is a great way to infuse the chickpeas with more flavor that will make your mouth smile.

    Substitute mayo with hummus (no tahini or oil) for healthier version.
