Love letter

Dear chickpeas,

You are the love of my life. I don’t think I’ve ever told you that in person and it’s time to say it straight.

I’ve had strong feelings for you for a while. On the days I don’t see you, I can’t stop thinking about you. When will I see you again?

I’ll admit, sometimes, it is my fault for not seeing you for a while. Sometimes, I forget to put you on my grocery list. Other times, I don’t have the energy to make you from scratch.

This doesn’t mean you aren’t special and that I don’t think about you.

There has not been anyone in my life as special as you. I want to have you for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think we can make each other very happy.

I love everything about you.

With love,

Nara

Okay, since we’ve gotten that out of the way 😉…let’s talk more about this Chickpea Salad Sandwich. This is one of the most delicious lunches I’ve made. It doesn’t take much time and tastes absolutely delicious.

Even your non-vegan household members will love it.

One of the best parts is that you can customize this recipe to your liking. Add a little more spice. Put different toppings on your sandwich. Use a different bread. Spice it up with sriracha or add some avocado dressing.

Possibilities are endless.

I recommend you make more than for one person even if it’s just you. Trust me, you will have seconds later. Oh, and one last thing. If you’re in love with chickpeas just like me, try Chickpea Scramble – you won’t regret it.

Let’s get cooking!
