Every once in a while I get a hankering for a good old-fashioned sandwich. What I love about this Green Goddess Sandwich recipe is you can make the flavorful smashed chickpea salad ahead and assemble the sandwiches (or wraps) as needed during the busy work week! The flavorful Chickpea salad keeps for 4-5 days in the fridge!

How to make a VEGAN Chickpea Salad Sandwich! 

 

Back in my twenties, right after college, my friend Tonia and I  started a very illegal sandwich business down in Los Angeles. How we got away with it, and how we had the audacity to do this, I still have no idea, but necessity is the mother of invention, and so we just did it.

Eventually, we went on to open a real, bonafide restaurant, but every time I make a sandwich, I can’t help but think of those crazy sandwich-making days, when life still felt a little wild and free and full of possibilities!

Vegan Chickpea Salad Ingredients:

  • herbs

Their old-style whole grain mustard, partnership aside, is truly one of my favorite whole-grain mustards out there, and it’s especially great for perking up vegan sandwiches.

It starts with making the quick Chickpea Salad. Fresh dill, parsley and Maille mustard give it such a burst of flavor!

This could easily be turned into a wrap or stuffed into a pita,  or simply served over a bed of greens.

And of course, feel free to use gluten-free bread or wraps.

To add creaminess to the vegan Chickpea Salad,  I used a Vegan Mayo.

You can use store-bought, or make your own vegan mayo!

  1. YUM and Thank You!

    I had only dried dill on hand and for a single recipe used 2 T dill. Delicious and can’t wait to try it with fresh.






  2. Love this vegetarian sandwich, and having it for several lunches. Used a thin whole grain bread had on hand and did the layer of cucumber tomato and spinach –used a bit of roasted red pepper hummus had to use up on the bread to help hold the veggies in place –Chick pea mixture great–I added two tabs dijon lots of fresh dill and parsley, (lemon juice a couple tabs) and .25 cup of nonfat greek yogurt and finely chopped red pepper and carrot right into the chick peas. Takes a bit of mashing to get chick peas to cooperate, used a fork as my masher has disappeared for the moment! Didn’t have an avocado but plan to get one for round two. I will probably get 5 or 6 sandwiches from this, as my bread is on the thin smaller sized.






  3. On my menu for this week! Wondering if “everything but the bagel” seasoning and on sourdough bread would work?

  4. I cannot stop making this delicious chickpea recipe! I love sandwiches, and I’ve been lacking a solid recipe since becoming vegan. This is a fantastic substitute for tuna salad for my other sandwich lovers out there!






  5. I love chicken salad but since going plant based last January it’s been difficult to find a good vegetarian replacement that satisfies this craving. The smash chic pea salad sandwich was amazing! Looking forward to trying other chickpea recipes






  6. I can’t wait to try this recipe, it looks absolutely delicious!

    I love your blog and I love your photography! I look forward to your email every week! Thank you!

  7. A nice hearty veggie sandwich. The chickpea salad would also be awesome in lettuce cups if you wanted leftovers and don’t want to double up on carbs.






  8. This was so yummy! My husband couldn’t believe it was chickpea salad. I made it with a few changes. I used guacamole since I didn’t have any avocados and added broccoli sprouts. DELICIOUS!!! Thank you again!






  9. Mmmm. I am in no wat vegan, but this was a surprisingly delicious meat-free sandwich 🙂






  10. I just love how you’ve used the microgreens. Not many people know how much flavour is packed in those tiny leaves.






  11. This has become my go-to sandwich for the work week. Yum! As a newbie with nutrition facts, do the nutrition facts associated with this recipe pertain to the filling only? Thanks!






    1. I would recommend making the salad ahead, but assembling the morning before, so bread doesn’t get soggy and sprouts stay nice and crisp.

  12. this makes a fantastic sandwich. I made it as an egg salad instead of making it with chickpeas and it was perfect.






  13. I loved this recipe! Very complete flavor and texture profiles that taste like something I would get at the downtown cafe. I was able to get four sandwiches out of this recipe. Not difficult to make either. I liked using toasted bagels.






    1. This sounds pretty good, but I really don’t like mustard. Unfortunately. Any ideas on what to sub? I know the mustard makes quite a bit of a taste influence. Thanks!

  14. Whole family (including my non-vegan oldest son) LOVED this sandwich. We used a much smaller seeded vegan bread and did a side of vegan tomato soup with a cornichon garnish. SO GOOD!!! Thank you!!!!
