Chickpea “Tuna” Sandwich
Bite into this creamy/crunchy sandwich full of fresh vegetables and packed with MUCH flavor!
If I could travel back in time; I would take this yummy sandwich to school and wouldn’t switch it at lunch with anyone who asked.
Or, maybe I would – because a PB&J is always a nice switch up. This plant version of a classic sandwich is nothing short of nostalgic, to me. It reminds me of climbing trees, no shoes, sitting on the ground with friends and eating with no napkins and finishing everyone’s bread crust. Bite into this creamy/crunchy sandwich full of fresh vegetables and packed with MUCH flavor!
