Curried Chickpea Salad Sandwich

One of my favourite recipes ever is curried chicken salad mini pitas. It’s my old stand by – if I’m bringing an appetizer anywhere, it’s always curried chicken salad.It’s my go to because it’s quick, it’s easy, and because people rave about how amazing it is. What can I say, compliments are a fine accompaniment to great food.

This is a little twist on my old favourite. I’ve veganized it and gluten-freed it, but OHMGEE, it’s still unreal delicious!

This curry chickpea salad is great in between 2 slices of bread, stuffed in a fresh pita, wrapped in some soft butter lettuce, or even directly from the bowl- I ain’t judgin’!

Go on.

I dare you to make it and NOT eat this amazing sandwich stuffer directly from the bowl.

Oh, by the way, those cute little sprouts, I grew them! These are like the first indoor plants that haven’t gone suicidal on my watch. Truly, I cannot keep plants alive within these walls. I just suck at it!

But these sprouts, well they are easy, and cute, and tasty, but best of all, they are healthy!
