Gochujang Chickpea Salad Sandwich

onion

garlic (minced)

salt (or more, to taste)

maple syrup (or sugar)

gochujang paste

can of chickpeas (drained,

garlic powder

black pepper

salt

non-dairy yogurt (or vegan mayo)

lime juice

red onion

chopped bell pepper

cilantro

bread, (wraps, lettuce leaves,

vegan mayo

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and a good pinch of the salt, and mix and cook until the onions start to turn translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir occasionally and add splash of water if the pan is drying out.

Mix in the garlic, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then mix in the rest of the salt along with the maple syrup and gochujang. Add a splash of water to help the gochujang mix into the onion, then reduce the heat to medium, and continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onions are starting to turn golden and the garlic has cooked. Switch off the heat and set aside while you make the salad.

Caramelize the onions.

Add the chickpeas, spices, salt, yogurt, gochujang, and lime juice to a bowl. Mix well, press and mash about half of the chickpeas using a fork or masher. Mix in the onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Now, taste and adjust flavor, adding more non-dairy yogurt or vegan mayo, if needed, for more creaminess. (You can also fold some of the caramelized onion into the chickpea mixture.)

Then, assemble the sandwich. Add a layer of vegan mayo onto one slice of the bread, and top it with salad greens, lettuce, or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. Generously pile on the gochujang chickpea salad and then the caramelized onions, and close the sandwich with another slice of bread. Wrap it up in parchment paper, slice, and either a pack for your lunch or serve now.

Serve it in a bread as above or pita sandwich or in a wrap or lettuce wrap or as a dip with tortilla chips or pita chips!

So delicious!  Made a perfect lunch on a ski day!

I'm a huge fan of all things chickpea salad. This was a great way to mix up a classic. I had it on homemade sandwich bread and followed the recipe pretty much exactly (subbed green onions for cilantro). Would definitely make again!

This was so delicious. I almost never make any of your recipes twice because I can't wait to try them all!

This is going to be a lunch staple. Quick, on hand ingredients, delicious and portable.

This was such a delicious sandwich and easy to make. I gave my coworker some and he said it was restaurant quality; I agree!

Yummm!!!  A hit, if you like caramelized onions, And I do.  A great added flavor to the chickpea salad sandwich.  #richaveganuary2025 in

This was soooo finger-licking delicious! We just made it for lunch and were super excited to have leftovers for another round. The caramelized onions were my husband's favorite part and I am amazed by your genius flavor combinations. I have been using Gochujang for years but never enjoyed it in as many unique ways as during these days with your Veganuary challenge.
Had some mixed black beans in my fridge so used that and loved your suggestion to add celery for crunch so promptly did that as well. Definitely a repeat recipe. Will add cucumbers from the garden for summer! Cant wait!

Veganuary Challenge Day 14 recipe had a delightful spice! Super flavorful but not too hot. Who knew gochujang was such a banger!? The carmelized onions were a perfect topper! This one will definitely be made again. Easy and a hit! Highly recommend this recipe for all sandwich lovers!

This truly is amazing!! I have made it twice this week and it’s already gone! So easy, delicious and healthy! I did make one modification - I didn’t have Gochujang on hand, so I used chili crunch instead and it was delicious! I put it over a bed of arugula and mhmm mhmm good!!
