Notes
You can store the chickpea mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you make the sandwich ahead of time, keep the bread separate from the filling to prevent sogginess. Assemble the sandwich just before eating for the best texture. Experiment with spices or herbs to elevate the flavor, and use whole grain bread for added fiber.
