This Buffalo Chickpea Salad Sandwich is savory, satisfying, creamy, crunchy, and slightly spicy – the perfect kind of thing to whip up as a healthy weekday lunch. Simple yet fun and it all comes together in 20 minutes.

I’d imagine the buffalo chickpea salad and slaw combo would also work wonderfully as fillings for vegan tacos or wraps or lettuce wraps. My mind is filled with possibilities.

Buffalo flavor is one of my favorites and I have many other Buffalo-inspired recipes on the blog. Have you tried my Buffalo Chickpea Pizza, my Buffalo Tempeh, and my Buffalo Tofu Wraps? You’ll love them!

How to Make Buffalo Chickpea Sandwiches

In a bowl, add the chickpeas and mash until most of the chickpeas are mashed but there’s still some texture. Add in the bell pepper, celery, and onion.

In a bowl, mix the sauce ingredients until well combined. Then add to the chickpea mixture along with salt and garlic powder and toss well. Taste and adjust salt and heat level. If you like more heat, you can add more hot sauce or you can add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne.

Assemble by placing some greens like baby spinach or some peppery greens on one bread slice. Then add a good helping of the chickpea mash, then top it with the slaw and add another bread slice.

What about Buffalo Chickpea Tacos?

Want to make a vegan chickpea taco instead? You can put both of the fillings into tacos and call it a fiesta! For tacos, I recommend adding some crunchy greens, then the buffalo chickpea mash, then some slaw. Serve immediately.

Meal Prep tips:

The mashed chickpeas can be stored in the fridge in a covered container for 3 days. I recommend making the slaw the same day. However, you can chop the cabbage and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
