Perfect for lunch when you're running late.

Lucky for us, chickpeas are having a moment. And, it’s easy to see why. They pack a protein punch, with close to 20g per cup. Plus, they’re full of essential minerals like metabolism-supporting manganese, and the cell-supporting B-vitamin, folate. Whether at home or in the office, toss them together with a few other ingredients, and you may be amazed at the budget-friendly bite this protein-packed chickpea salad sandwich shares.
