If desired, lightly butter or brush your bread slices with olive oil and toast them in a pan or toaster until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- 5
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the chickpea salad onto two slices of bread.

Top with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and shredded carrots (if using).

Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 10g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
This recipe is portioned for 2. Double it if you want leftovers for meal prep throughout the week.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
