Are you tired of eating the same old boring sandwiches day after day? Do you long for a sandwich that will transport you to a realm of flavour and excitement? Well, look no further, my vegan friends (or, you might not be vegan and just want a chickpea tuna mayo sandwich that is quite a lot like tuna, that’s cool…)!

This chickpea tuna sandwich is tangy, creamy and salty – all the qualities you look for in a good tuna butty. But this is totally fish-free, a great source of plant protein and also perfect for meal prep. So, put down that plain old vegan ham and cheese and get ready to taste the rainbow (and the chickpeas, and the gherkins, and the capers…)!
