This smashed chickpea salad sandwich recipe is healthy, satisfying, fresh, and delicious! A quick and easy light meal idea.

This chickpea sandwich is gooood. It's not hard to make at all, but the flavor payoff is spot-on. So, if you're looking for something a bit different, try this. I basically made a quick chickpea avocado salad with some spices, onion, lemon, and a bit of mayo and grainy mustard, then added it to bread with some fresh veggies. YUM.

The radish sprouts have a distinctive sharp flavor that goes really well in this sandwich. If you can't find them, you could try watercress or alfalfa sprouts. I found them at Safeway, so I'm pretty sure they're readily available in the US and here in Canada.

As always, use whatever veggies make your tastebuds happy. 🙂

This simple chickpea salad recipe definitely isn't another boring sandwich. I make veggie sandwiches at home sometimes, and I find that I'm often hungry shortly after eating them.

That's probably because I usually don't include any sort of protein. Chickpeas make these sandwiches wonderfully filling, so you won't have that problem!

I know I'll be making these again. And again.

Love chickpeas? You may also like pearl couscous salad with chickpeas or my kidney bean and chickpea salad.
