Method:

  1. With a fork, smash drained chickpeas until you have a chunky paste.
  2. Slice red onion and artichokes very finely.
  3. Add onion mixture to mashed chickpeas. Mix in together the rest of the ingredients, adjusting seasoning if needed.
  4. Make two sandwiches, sharing the chickpea salad evenly and adding some salad leaves to finish.

My comments:

  • This is our fav lunch recipe – I make a double batch and keep it in the fridge for lunches during the week.
  • Once I didn’t have any fresh basil so used dried herbs instead and it was still really nice, although fresh is definitely best.
