The chickpea salad tastes especially nice on toasted sourdough, but you can also spread it on bagels, seeded rolls and more! We’ve kept the toppings pretty minimal for this chickpea salad sandwich, and only added some iceberg lettuce, cucumbers slices and tomatoes, but you can use any toppings you like.
