Chickpeas are so versatile, and they can be used for so many different things.
Especially since we started the plant-based diet, they are one of the most go-to items in my kitchen.
I always keep several cans in my pantry, and I go through them quickly.
The salad was made with chickpeas, olive salad, celery, and homemade vegan mayo.
My homemade vegan Swiss cheese was perfect to accompany the salad.
Homemade crusty bread, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese, and chickpea salad.
This is the “melt” version.
You can probably tell which one I liked better.
I think it’s a personal preference, but the fresh version gets my vote.
