Stuck on what to make for lunch tomorrow? Want to “spice things up a bit”?! Then you may want to try my new sandwich creation – an open-faced spicy chickpea salad sandwich! It’s super simple, quick to make, and also very filling! I’ve always been a huge fan of chickpeas – there’s so many things you can incorporate them into from sandwiches to dinners to breakfasts to even desserts! Guaranteed to hit the spot and keep your appetite satisfied. This sandwich also doesn’t lack on flavor, which is definitely a plus. It may seem like an odd combination, but I guarantee it is worth the try. It keeps things interesting and mixes everything up a bit for a delicious and tasty meal! Hope you enjoy! 🙂
