Chickpea Salad Sandwich

This chickpea salad is reminiscent of tuna salad sandwiches I used to eat as a kid. It's fast to put together and great for lunches. Additionally, it tastes great just over lettuce and topped with a little vegan cheddar.

Chickpeas, crunchy celery, red onion, dill relish, toasted walnuts and a touch of mustard sandwiched between toasted seed bread with cucumbers and spring greens.
