Smashed Chickpea Salad – Greek Edition

Smashed chickpea salad, in general, is a great meatless option instead of traditional chicken salad. My smashed chickpea salad takes a Greek spin on this class sandwich favorite with Greek yogurt, mild pepper rings, and bright, crunchy red onions. This easy smashed salad can be made the night before or the morning of and will be perfect for your lunchtime meal. Top you favorite slices of bread and, voila, smashed chickpea salad sandwich.
