Chickpea Salad Sandwich

A filling vegetarian lunch idea — quick, so simple, and delicious.

I have been making this chickpea salad for years and thought I’d share it. It’s a filling vegetarian lunch idea that is so easy to whip up! I made mine on rosemary sea salt sourdough bread, but you can also skip the bread and enjoy it on top of a green salad. Quick, so simple, and delicious.
