    Chickpea salad sandwich.

    Fresh, tasty and high in protein, this is a simple recipe for a delicious sandwich filling. Great at home, in a lunchbox or packed for a picnic.

    It's easy to fall into a rut with lunch. I love salads for lunch but don't always have the time to prepare something filling enough, or with enough protein to keep me going all afternoon.

    This tasty sandwich filling is a refreshing change. Mashed chickpeas, red onion, almonds, cranberries and aioli. Peppery rocket. Soft squishy rye bread. Yum, yum and yum.

    Make a batch of this and keep it in the fridge to enjoy in sandwiches over a few days. Suddenly what to have for lunch is a no brainer.

    This recipe is the perfect excuse to try your hand at your first batch of eggless aioli, don't throw the aquafaba away! New to aquafaba? See my experiments #1, #2 and #3.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 1 can of chickpeas drained
    • Half a small red onion finely chopped
    • 3 tablespoon dried cranberries
    • 3 tablespoon flaked almonds
    • 3 tablespoon aioli (I used eggless aioli, or use aioli, mayonnaise or vegenaise of your choice)
    • 1 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice or vinegar of your choice - optional)
    • Rocket to serve (arugula)
    • Good quality bread of your choice to serve (I used rye)

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Roughly mash the chickpeas, you want a chunky but sticky consistency.
    • Add the red onion, cranberries, flaked almonds and aioli. Stir to combine.
    • Taste and add salt and plenty of pepper to season. I like this to have a bit of bite, so also added an extra teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
    • Assemble sandwiches with a layer of rocket and a good dollop of chickpea salad.
    • Makes enough filling for about 4 sandwiches.

    RECIPE NOTES

    I used eggless aioli in this recipe.
