Easy Chickpea and White Bean Salad Sandwiches

These Easy Chickpea and White Bean Salad Sandwiches are creamy and crunchy and come together in just 10 minutes. They make a delicious, filling, and healthy lunch.

So, I feel like I should be posting a bunch of holiday recipes right now, but I’ve just been over here eating these Easy Chickpea and White Bean Salad Sandwiches for the past week. Sometimes, I come across a recipe that’s so easy and so tasty that I binge eat it for longer than I would like to admit. But when it comes to these sandwiches, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that!

I’ve been all about the quick and easy meals these days, and these sandwiches fall right into that category.  

Easy Chickpea and White Bean Salad Sandwich Recipe Ingredients

• Beans – I used one can of chickpeas and one can of white beans. I drain and rinse both. 
• Mayo – Both vegan and regular mayo work well in this recipe.
• Dill pickles
• Vegetables – These sandwiches call for diced carrot and radish, as well is chopped red onion.
• Spices – I used Old Bay seasoning, which gives these that amazing tuna vibe, salt, and black pepper.
• Bread – I used bagels, but you can use your bread of choice, and of course, gluten-free bread, if needed.
• Optional toppings – Great topping options include lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, and sprouts.

How To Make These Vegan Tuna Sandwiches

1. Place the chickpeas and white beans in a medium-sized bowl and mash with a potato masher until you have a slightly creamy mixture that still has some whole beans.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until combined. Serve on bread with desired toppings.

Recipe Tips and Thoughts

• This recipe is vegan (if using vegan mayo), and gluten-free if using gluten-free bread.
• Tuna salad sandwiches used to be one of my favorite things, and these ones taste pretty dang close! They’re made with chickpeas and white beans instead of tuna.
• I’ve made chickpea salad sandwiches before, but the addition of the white beans adds a delicious creamy texture. They’re also loaded with crunchy vegetables and Old Bay to give them a great taste.
• Lunch will be ready in 10 minutes and will keep you feeling full for the rest of the afternoon.
• Store the chickpea and white bean filling in the fridge for up to five days.
• This recipe makes 4-6 sandwiches.
