Turn a simple can of chickpeas into a protein-packed, healthy vegan sandwich! This recipe takes its inspiration from a classic egg salad sandwich but is completely plant-based. Rather than creamy mayo, a zippy Dijon vinaigrette takes a lighter, more flavorful approach where the fresh herbs and veggies can shine. Feel free to swap in your favorite gluten-free bread. Or, if you avoid bread entirely, simply serve on a bed of lettuce.

Chickpea Salad Sandwich with Fresh Veggies and Herbs

can chickpeas,

celery ribs, (chopped)

carrot, (peeled and chopped)

Persian cucumber, (chopped)

radishes, (chopped)

green onions, (trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts))

Kalamata olives, (chopped)

Castelvetrano olives, (chopped)

parsley leaves

mint leaves

Dijon Vinaigrette Recipe ((see note))

whole grain bread, (toasted)

Mix. Add the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and lightly mash them with the back of a fork. To the bowl, add the celery, carrot, cucumber, radish, green onion, olives, parsley, and mint. Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.

Dress. Add as much of the dressing as you like, making sure you coat all the chickpeas and veggies well. Toss to combine.

Serve. Spoon the chickpea mixture over 4 of the toasted bread slices and top with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Enjoy!

Excellent!
I threw all ingredients in my food processor (except herbs). Added red pepper and artichokes.
Incredible on whole grain bread. I also, later, added the mix to lettuce to make a salad. Added a bit more vinaigrette, feta and tomatoes.
Great recipe! I think it must be the olives that put it over the top.

Absolutely loved this - and that dressing is a must.  I had it for lunches with a warmed pita on the side.  Liked another commenters idea of lettuce wrap - will try that next time for variety.

This is delicious. My husband does not like chickpeas and he loved this sandwich. I will definitely make it again. I can see that adding sliced tomatoes and lettuce to the sandwich would be good, too.

I made this and served it as a salad—-with just a few crackers!  We LOVED IT—in fact, we decided to serve it at our dinner party at the end of the week!  It is so flavorful and interesting with all the different components. I think I will add a little diced tomato as well for our dinner party!  But this recipe is definitely a keeper!!

I love chickpea sandwiches and adding the olives really give it some zip. Love your recipes. I also use cashew 'mayo' for the dressing to keep it plantbased. Thank you for sharing. Delicious!

This will be my go to salad this summer. I have a batch right now that I make into a lettuce wrap for lunch with pita chips. I dressed the recipe with the vinaigrette before refrigerating and really like the zing it gives all the veggies. Thank you for your healthy and tasty recipes.

Delicious healthy chickpea sandwich. The flavours are amazing. I followed the recipe except I used cilantro and mint instead of parsley. I will be making this again and again especially for the hot summer months. Thank you for an excellent recipe

Can I substitute cannellini beans for chickpeas in your recipes (except hummus?) Chickpeas do not agree with me. Also, I live in Albania, but their olives are not well labeled. I don't know if they have Castelvetrano olives here and even kalamata olives are not always available. What other labels might the Castelvetrano olives be under or how might I identify them in a Tirana deli or market? Thanks. Your dishes look great, but the ingredients can be prohibitively expensive. I have to wait until my daughter, who hates seafood, graduates in June, and then I can try all the fish and legume dishes I want. :) Nancy

I am OBSESSED with this recipe!! It is easy to make, super healthy and most of all, FULL OF FLAVOUR!! I didn't have dijon so I used regular mustard instead. AMAZING! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!
