A Quick And Delicious Snack: Vegan Chickpea Egg Salad Sandwich

Sandwiches are without a doubt one of the easiest (and most delicious) lunches to pack for a work lunch or with your kid to school. They are comfort food for many but unfortunately, it can be hard to get a good amount of protein in a sandwich without using meat alternatives. However, this chickpea “egg salad sandwich” is full of protein (chickpeas contain 39g of protein per cup!) and can be used on sandwiches, in wraps, or even in a salad. Make a batch on meal-prep Sunday, and enjoy for the next few days.

Here is how you can make vegan chickpea egg salad sandwich at home.
