We’ll find any excuse to add chickpeas to our favourite meals. Here we combine them with spices, yoghurt and mayo to create a truly epic sandwich.
- You can make this gluten-free using gluten-free bread.
- Feel free to add your own fillings! We usually add whatever salad ingredients we have lying around in the fridge.
- You can make the chickpea mixture ahead of time and store it in an air-tight container for 2 days in the fridge.
