This chickpea salad mix is a staple in my fridge. It is so versatile, throw it in a wrap, enjoy as a dip with crackers, chips and veggies, or as I've done here, make a tasty vegetarian salad sandwich! seriously this is my kind of food!
I've even had it for breakfast on toast with "Tofurky hickory smoked deli slices" and tomatoes - say what? hey it was good. haha.
The dill, lemon juice and especially the zest, make this Chickpea Sandwich next level good! and of course the vegan mayo (vegenaise) and toppings.

This was delicious and lemony which I love. I added some chopped walnuts and it was gooood.
★★★★★
Awesome!! Love the walnut addition thanks so much Mindy!
Excited to try this. How do you store this and for how long?
It will keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
This recipe could not be better. So good. I did use dill pickle relish and some of the juice instead of chopping a pickle, which I didn't have. I do have a question for you regarding the nutrition facts. Why does it say there is 4.1 mg of cholesterol?

Hi Gigi thrilled you enjoyed the recipe! and thanks for heads up. Nutritional chart has been updated!
Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Thank you!!
★★★★★
Aww thank you so much Sylvia!!😊 and you are so welcome!
I made this recipe and finished off a jar vegan mayo and started a second one. Didn’t know it but I had gotten wasabi vegan mayo and the second jar I used was that / it was a delicious spicy twist. My husband said we should always make it that way.
★★★★★
Glad you guys enjoyed it Tamara! I love the accidental spicy twist! I'll have to try that- yum!
SO good!
