Notes

Tips & Variations

  • Have cooked chickpeas handy. I love to cook chickpeas in the instant pot pressure cooker. Perfect every time.
  • Use greek yogurt, mayo, or cream cheese, based on your preference to make the chickpea salad mash more creamy.
  • Use fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, parsley, or basil.
  • Choose brown or multigrain bread for healthier choices.
  • Toast or grill the sandwich if you like.
