Smashed with a fork, chickpeas make up the bulk of this plant-based salad and are a great source of protein and fiber.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and celery: <\/strong>Finely chopped aromatic vegetables add crunch and freshness to the salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegan mayonnaise: <\/strong>Just as traditional mayo binds classic deli salads, vegan mayo binds this one. Store-bought is excellent, or you can make your own using aquafaba (the liquid in the can of chickpeas).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mustard and<\/strong><strong> red wine vinegar:<\/strong> A dash each of mustard and red wine vinegar gives this chickpea salad a welcome tanginess. We recommend honey mustard or Dijon, but opt for the latter if you make this salad for vegans, as honey is not considered vegan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh dill: <\/strong>A confetti-like handful of chopped fresh dill fills chickpea salad dressing with cheerful green flecks and an incomparably fresh flavor. Have a lot left over?

Assemble the chickpea salad, bread and toppings into sandwiches just before eating.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you make chickpea salad sandwiches ahead of time?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While you can make this vegan chickpea salad sandwich recipe to pack in a lunchbox, it&#8217;s not the best choice. Like any sandwich topped with a creamy deli salad, it will likely get soggy, especially if it&#8217;s built on soft slices of sandwich bread. Your best bet would be to pack your bread, toppings and the salad separately and assemble them just before eating.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s not an option, choose a baguette, sliced sourdough boule or another sturdy bread that can withstand moisture without getting soggy. Wrap the sandwich tightly and bring a napkin or paper towel to catch any drips!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chickpea Salad Sandwich <\/strong><strong>Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2082260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Chickpea-salad-sandwich_TOHD24_190103_JenaCarlin_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Chickpea Salad Sandwich\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jena Carlin for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How finely should the chickpeas be crushed for chickpea salad?<\/h3>\n<p>Use the tines of a fork or a potato masher to crush the chickpeas. Refrain from smashing them too fine or your chickpea salad will have a pasty texture. Stop when the chickpeas are a mix of sizes with some of the peas cracked in half while others are pulverized to powdery crumbs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What bread should you use for chickpea salad sandwiches?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Seeded multigrain sandwich bread is our go-to, but you can put this sandwich on a bagel, a hoagie roll, a Kaiser roll, in a baguette or on thick slices of a sourdough boule. You could even skip the bread entirely and just spread the chickpea salad on crackers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What toppings go well on chickpea salad sandwiches?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lettuce, tomato and pickles are great toppings to start with, and the sky&#8217;s the limit from there. Add pickled pepperoncini or banana peppers, thinly sliced rings of bell pepper, red onion or coins of cucumber, broccoli or alfalfa sprouts or finely shredded cabbage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chickpea salad sandwiches are further proof that chickpeas are the most versatile legume in the pantry.
