Indulge in the flavors and nourishment of the Chickpea Salad Sandwich, a delightful and wholesome choice for a satisfying lunch.
Today, I’m sharing one of my kid’s favorite recipes. They love this salad as a sandwich with whole wheat pita bread, but you can serve it with lettuce wraps, tortillas, any bread (Gluten-Free if needed), or just on its own.

I love how versatile this salad is! At home, I like to serve it with lettuce wrap for a fresh and light version. However, if I’m on the go, it’s easier to pack in a bowl or with some bread or tortilla.
