- 1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas (or garbanzo beans)
- 2 12 tablespoons mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 13 cup feta cheese

- whole wheat bread, slices for sandwich
- spinach leaves, for sandwich
- grape tomatoes, for sandwiches or tomatoes, slices for sandwiches
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
- Place on a paper towel and remove the outer skins.
- They come off easily by rolling them around on the paper towel.
- You can leave them on, but I like to remove them.
- In a medium bowl, using a fork or potato masher smash the chickpeas, mayonnaise(or yogurt, and feta cheese together.
- Add in the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, red onion, kalamata olives, cucumber, and oregano.
- Mix until combined.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread chickpea salad on bread and top with your favorite sandwich toppings.
- I like to add fresh spinach leaves and tomatoes.
- The filling will make 3-4 sandwiches, depending on how thick you layer it on and how big your bread is.
- Enjoy!
- Note: You can also eat this salad with pita chips or crackers.
- It is also good inside of a pita pocket.
- Serve with gluten-free bread or crackers, if you are eating gluten-free.
