    Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Chickpea Salad Sandwich

    Jump to Recipe Pin Video

    This savory Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Chickpea Salad Sandwich is an easy meal. If you like hummus, you'll love this!

    I made an Apple Chickpea Salad Sandwich recently and loved it so much that I had to make another chickpea salad.

    This Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Chickpea Salad Sandwich was inspired by my Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hummus, which is currently my favorite hummus.

    Chickpea Salad Sandwich ingredients in food processor.

    It is basically the same recipe without water and olive oil added. Instead of blending all the ingredients together, I pulsed the main ingredients, then mixed in a tahini spread, and added that to the salad.

    In other words, this Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Chickpea Salad Sandwich is a deconstructed hummus. I guess I watch too many cooking shows.

    On TV I see Iron chefs and chefs at fancy restaurants deconstruct dishes all the time. So here's my first experiment with the deconstruction of a recipe process.

    I am happy with the results, but then I knew I would be since it is my favorite hummus in chickpea salad form. Talk about a fool-proof recipe!

    Those are really the best kind - when you know you are about to make something you know will come out well, unlike the small stack of recipes that I need to tweak in one way or another.

    Oh well, they can't all come out great the first time around.

    Another recipe to try is my Vegan Chickpea Salad Sandwich.

      This is one of our favorite recipes! We have made it for my husbands parents, my dad and brother and some neighbors who are all meat eats and they all raved on it and my husbands parents snagged the recipe and now make it for themselves. We served it to more friends last night who now also have the recipe. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser. Thanks so much! I always just add all the ingredients to a blender and it’s worked great like that for us. We also use the fancy croissants to level it up a notch sometimes. Great recipe thanks for creating it!5 stars

        Thank you so much, that makes my day! I miss croissants. Maybe there's a baker out there who makes vegan gluten free ones!

      I keep hearing about this tahini magic thing but don't know exactly what it is or if it's cheap. But I'll do my research and see if it's worth buying. This looks delish!

        Tahini is definitely worth looking into! Not only is it the base of hummus, but it makes a really yummy dressing!

      This is a delicious looking sandwich filling. I always forget about chickpeas, but I'd love to dig into this.

        That's funny, because I tend to forget about them too! My go-to bean is the black bean. (Although I do have two chickpea salad sandwich recipes on Create Mindfully.) Normally the chickpeas in my house end up in a hummus!
