Perfect tuna-less sandwich

Never in my life, I thought that I would call these little garbanzo salad sliders, tuna-less sandwich.

But when you try them this name will make perfect sense to you. These perfect tuna-less sandwiches are made with a very healthy and delicious garbanzo (chickpea) salad. The best part of this salad is that you can use it to prepare sandwiches or to stuff an avocado. Or maybe you just like your tuna salad with crackers, so this version of tuna-less salad will be perfect for you.

I also love this garbanzo salad because it is perfect on the go or to put in the kid’s lunchbox.

And as any good tuna salad when you prepare it in advance the flavors get better, for a picnic take in a glass container and serve it with crackers (homemade crackers are always better), crudités or a ready to eat tuna-less sandwich.

This tuna-less salad can be made with canned chickpeas or home-cooked ones. I use my  INSTAPOT and they come out fully cooked in about 40 min if I not soaked or 20 if soaked overnight.

So, here is the recipe for this
