Vegan Spicy Chickpea "Tuna Salad" Sandwiches

This is almost exactly how I make my tuna salad! Aside from using tuna meat instead of chickpeas, the only other difference here is the vegan mayonnaise. When I am not preparing vegan I prefer to use miracle whip but I also use regular mayonnaise as well. For this recipe, I used canned chickpeas for convenience, but if you have chickpeas cooked from scratch that works, too. I love that you can use this for so many different things. The spicy is a personal preference and of course can be optional. Red grapes can also be substituted with green grapes, raisins, or even cucumber! Whatever you like! #vegantunasalad #chickpeachickensalad #chickpearecipes #veganswap #veganchickensalad
