I love the simplicity of a sandwich. All you gotta do is layer some flavor between two bread-y bookends and bam…lunch is the easiest thing you’ve done all day.

For these chickpea salad sammies, I simply mashed up a can of garbanzo beans, tossed in a few fresh herbs and some capers; mixed it all together with a little lemon zest and juice, EVOO, creamy Dijon, salt and pepper.

Then I toasted my bread, smeared my spread and added my veggies.

I went with dark leafy greens & sliced tomato this time around, but red onion and jalapeño would give it a nice zip as well. The way I see it, you can add all sorts of shenanigans to this sammy to make it your own.

The end result is always the same – an easy-peasy, perfectly-portable, protein-packed lunch that requires hardly any time or effort.

And that, as they say, is all she wrote.
