I don’t know about you but pasta is a staple in our house. One of the easiest recipes to make with pasta is spaghetti, but what is spaghetti without the meatballs? Before going vegan, I made them with ground turkey.  Now, I make them with lentils! One of the perks about making them with lentils versus raw meat is that you can taste test as you are making it to see if you need to add anything.  That being said, this was a bit of trial and error getting the right consistency and the right flavor.  However, I’ve finally gotten it hubby and kid approved, so it is time to share the recipe! 

Before going vegan, chicken salad sandwiches were a staple in our household, especially in the summer. They are quick to throw together while being light and refreshing. Since going vegan, I have found that chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) make a great substitute for chicken. Not only are they a good source of protein, but they taste great and have a  suitable texture for this.  So, without further ado, let’s get into my recipe for veganized chicken salad sandwich filling!
