Frequently asked questions
It’s basically a vegetarian chicken salad sandwich, or a chickpea tuna salad. Made with smashed chickpeas, crunchy veggies, and a creamy dressing, it’s so tasty that it’s become one of our most popular chickpea recipes ever! Our kids are huge fans: they try to sneak bites while we’re making it!
Canned chickpeas have a bit of salt added, so add a few pinches of kosher salt if you’re using cooked chickpeas. The texture of cooked chickpeas can be slightly drier than canned, so you may have to add a bit more mayonnaise to the chickpea salad. Because of this, we prefer making it with canned chickpeas.
If you’re up it, try making homemade bread like Sourdough Bread or Easy Dutch Oven Bread for this sandwich! Here are a few more topping ideas that might be fun to get your wheels turning:
Pickled red onions Shredded carrots Sprouts or microgreens Fresh tomatoes Spicy mayo Potato chips (if you’re into the crunchy sandwich type of thing) Pickles
