Make a big batch of these chickpeas so you can keep them around for snacking. ½ cup of roasted chickpeas have 140 calories.
Labneh is a Middle Eastern strained yogurt very similar to Greek yogurt, but commonly served savory with olive oil and za’atar.
We like cucumber and red onion in this sandwich, but feel free to add any veggies you have around, tomatoes, lettuce, radish slices, peppers and sprouts would all be delish.
