I know we’ve shared many delicious sandwiches with you over the past several weeks, and it’s my turn this week! While there are tons of awesome “faux” products out there these days like faux meats, soy cheeses, and vegan mayo (and I fully recommend you try them), I decided to make things even easier on you this week by keeping the “faux” out.
Of course, I couldn’t resist sharing a recipe with you from PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook, so if you’re a lover of chickpeas (AKA garbanzo beans), like me, then keep reading!
I bring you the ‘Don’t be a Chump’ Chickpea Sandwich:
Mix the chickpeas with some Italian dressing and spread on one slice of bread. Top with the shredded carrots, the tomatoes, and add the other slice of bread.
Makes 1 serving
Some tips: You can stop by a salad bar and grab some shredded carrots and tomatoes if you don’t want to buy whole containers of either, and feel free to tweak the sandwich to your personal preferences. I like to see it as a jumping off point. Love avocado? Toss some of that green goodness in there! Hate chickpeas? Experiment with another bean. And if you suck at bean mashin’, try using a blender or food processor (though it will have more of a hummus texture—but that’s never a bad thing!).
Hope you enjoy it!

I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)
