What’s In This Vegan Chickpea Olive Salad Sandwich?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- No Salt Added Chickpeas: chickpeas are one of my favorite pantry staple proteins! I’d recommend only using no salt added canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make your own chickpeas from scratch in the Instant Pot. Normal canned beans are loaded with sodium, which could make this dish too salty when the olives are added in.
- Kalamata Olives: make sure they are pitted! I love the rich briny flavor of these herby kalamata olives, which have a purple hue and a really nice flavor. These Greek olives are fantastic for adding to salads, to dips, or just as a quick snack.
- Green Olives with Pimento: classic green olives have a great color and delicious earthy flavor – I like using these green olive with pimento packs, which are great for recipes that need just a few olives.
- Mayonnaise: I like to use this dairy free mayo to keep this recipe plant-based, but you can use whatever mayo that you would normally use in recipes. If you don’t normally like mayo, try a dairy free version… it’s creamy but still plant based.
- Bell Pepper: If you don’t have fresh peppers, these sweet roasted red peppers are a great substitute! I love adding them to breakfast bakes, sandwiches or wraps, and soups.
- Pepper
- Bread, wrap, or bagel
