Chickpea Salad Sandwich No-Egg – Vegan, Gluten-free

 

At least once a week, my kids open their lunches to find a vegan no-egg salad sandwich (chickpea salad sandwich) and have yet to complain about it. That’s a serious mom win. Chickpea salad sandwiches are laughably easy, cheap and protein dense. This chickpea salad sandwich recipe yields a seriously large amount and depending on what other ingredients you may be adding to the sandwich, you should be able to get at least 6 servings out of this bad boy!  

Growing up, a vegan egg salad sandwich wasn’t an option so we obviously stuck to the classic egg salad sandwich recipe like everyone else.  I absolutely loved a well made egg salad sandwich but opening it up in class at lunch was an absolute no no.  You’d be glared at by every judgmental person in the class.  The good news is that the vegan version of this sandwich doesn’t suffer the same fate!  If you do want to mess with your kids a bit just add some black salt for an extra eggy smell and flavour (my husband LOVES it this way)!  The other nice little bonus with this chickpea salad sandwich is that it is high in protein.   They are a perfect post-workout or practice snack for your little athlete (or you).  My kids are very active and eternally hungry so I make sure to have some on the ready mid-season.  So don’t go skimping out.  Load these up!  

The chickpea salad sandwich is a modern twist to the classic egg salad sandwich recipe! It’s the perfect no-fuss high protein lunch, super inexpensive and ultra kid-friendly.  If you like chickpea recipes you may like this Classic Hummus Recipe.  Actually, I use chickpeas in a wide variety of ways.  If you would like to delve into some of the various ways to use chickpeas, check out my chickpea recipes.

  • 2 tsp dill pickle juice/brine

Instructions
