Better-Than-Tuna Chickpea Salad
"Portable and easy meals, like the classic tuna salad sandwich, are an essential for folks heading off to school or work for the day. This chickpea vegan "tuna salad" is an easy, satisfying, and delicious vegan alternative to the usual non-vegan sandwich fillers. Enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans, it is also much more affordable than tuna or chicken salad."

A great alternate to making sandwiches with processed meat! The filling for these sandwiches uses healthy chickpeas, celery, onion and grated carrots with some mayo and seasoning. I actually do not like eating canned food and prefer to cook the chickpeas in the slow cooker. This is on the menu for tomorrow's lunch!

we agree completely about eating canned food. But, for many people, its much more accessible. Did you like it?
