Chickpea Salad Sandwich
"Sometimes you just want a simple, good sandwich that doesn't involve faux deli slices. I keep a tin of chickpeas on hand for just such occassions, and never make it exactly the same way twice...but this is generally a combo of ingredients and flavours I enjoy. I also like to add in a bit of flax oil, just to get my omegas in. Served on some toasted bread, this is a quick and satisfying lunch."

"What did you add to this tuna sandwich?" asked the unsuspecting husband. ;) Delicious!<br/>Easy and healthy! Used whole wheat bread, baby arugula, sprinkle or cracked black pepper. Subbed walnut oil and tried sunflower seeds. Served with tomato soup and fruit salad. Made fro Veg Tag/January. Will make again! -
As an on-again, off-again vegetarian I was thrilled to come across this recipe. It is seriously easy and tastes great (and I always have a can on chickpeas on hand). I did make a couple substitutions: I used greek yogurt instead of mayo and I left out the nuts and flax oil — although I see how they could add nice texture/flavor. I also toasted the chickpeas before mashing because straight-out-of-the-can chickpeas feel a little weird to me. The is actually a recipe I can see myself making regularly for lunch. -
Delicious! It comes together so quickly and has a bunch of flavor. I used fresh dill and a little apple cider vinegar because I didn't have any lemons. I spread it on a low carb tortilla with a bunch of baby spinach and grape tomatoes. Thanks for sharing -
This is a tasty change of pace, and for me was an unexpected combination of flavors. I liked the walnuts especially; for me I want that much texture (my chickpeas were homecooked and VERY soft and thus mashed a lot) and would probably not want to sub sunflower seeds. Thanks so much for posting! Made for Best of 2012 tag. -
Wow! What a surprising recipe this turned out to be. It is fabulous. I really loved every bite. I used everything except for the flax seed oil (I was out, but will try it next time). This created a healthy, vegan lunch that truly satisfied. Thank you!

Loved this! I used roasted pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts and left the chickpeas mostly unmashed, and it tasted great. The texture was nice, and it tasted almost like a traditional potato salad. I might even add some chopped hard-boiled eggs to the mixture in the future. [Tagged & Reviewed for BEST OF 2012]
