Chickpea 'No Tuna' Sandwich

Chickpea 'No Tuna' Sandwich 

Despite being made with chickpeas, this tastes a lot like tuna. I love the chunky texture and also how simple it is to put together. This is good with my Supergreens with Spirulina Superkraut. I call that one my one-of-a-kind live, fermented sauerkraut as I am yet to find another like it. It is made up of different super greens vegetables, many of which are prebiotic (fuel for your microbiome) as well as containing the friendly probiotic bacteria.
