Vegan Chickpea Waldorf Salad Sandwich

Snacks

today, we’re getting into the yummy world of plant-based sandwiches with a twist on a classic favorite: the Vegan Chickpea Waldorf Salad Sandwich!

i grew up eating waldorf salad with chicken and dairy but let me tell you, this vegan one’s a game-changer!

the mighty chickpea: our protein-packed hero is the perfect protein for our sandwich!

first off, let’s give a round of applause to our star ingredient: chickpeas!

these little powerhouses are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, making them a stellar addition to your plant based/vegan diet.

packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, chickpeas keep you feeling full and satisfied.

nutrient-dense goodness in every bite

but this sandwich isn’t just about protein; it’s a nutrient-packed wonder.

think, a medley of chickpeas, crunchy celery, sweet apple, tangy dried cherries, fresh parsley, and creamy vegan mayo and cream cheese, all in one epic bite.

of course, the taste is absolutely phenomenal, but wow, the textures are just incredible.

i mean, we’ve got a little bit of everything going on here, and that’s what makes it so irresistible.

creamy: the vegan mayo and cream cheese blend together to create a luscious, semi-thick base for the salad. It’s the perfect backdrop for all the other textures to pull through.

crunchy: ah, the crunch! the celery and walnuts bring that satisfying crunchiness to the salad. each bite delivers a refreshing snap and a satisfying bite.

juicy: thanks to the apple and dried cherries, there’s a burst of juiciness that balances the creaminess and adds a fruity sweetness. it’s like a little tart surprise in every bite!

chewy: the dried cherries also bring a yummy chewiness that contrasts beautifully with the crunch of the celery and walnuts.

smooth: the chickpeas are slightly mashed and create a both a smooth and mealy quality that melds everything together.

while i love Vegan Chickpea Waldorf Salad Sandwich as….well, a sandwich, there are actually plenty of ways to eat this goodness.

try these other options below for a super tasty and healthy meal :).

salad bowl: pile it high on a bed of fresh greens for a light and vibrant salad bowl.

wrap it up: wrap it in a tortilla or a lettuce leaf for a handheld wrap.

stuffed avocado: scoop out the pit of an avocado and stuff it with this goodness.

crackers and dip: use it as a dip with crackers or pita chips.

pita pocket: stuff it into a pita pocket with some crispy lettuce for a portable meal. this would make a great work lunch.
