Chicken Salad Sandwiches is an American staple. Something you can always turn to when you're hosting a get together, or on a hot summer's day. So I really wanted to make over this wonderful dish in a colorful healthful way. Chickpeas (or Garbanzo Beans, but Chickpeas sounds like so much more fun!) are my favorite bean. Yes, I love them, and I do think they are the most like chicken, and I think I even like them now more than chicken, believe it or not. I don't want to boast, but I just have to be honest, this dish is AMAZING! A winner on the first try. It will definitely be a staple in the Wagner household from here on out :)

Had this for dinner last night. It was good! Thanks for the recipe!
We tried this during the week for dinner one night. We all loved it and I had too many servings. We added some bow tie pasta and spinach. I'm lovin' these recipes. This week will be the garlic quinoa and lentils. Thanks for sharing!
