I live in a section of Canada's best grain farming lane. Lentils are also a prevalent crop. One of our friends always puts in a section of lentils. I get a fresh batch every harvest season. This is one of my favorite ways to use them. This makes a good deal of sandwich filling but will keep well in the fridge for up to a week (as long as you don't take a bite and dip the spoon back into the salad mix, lol).

How To Make lentil & chickpea salad sandwiches

1
Lightly mash chickpeas with a fork. Add the lentils, finely chopped vegetables, dill, lemon juice, mayo, nutritional yeast, salt or black salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with a fork.

2
Blend 1⁄3-½ of the mixture with a food processor or immersion blender, and mix back in, to even out the texture. Chill salad for 3+ hours before serving.
3
Make sandwich by scooping 1⁄3-1/2cup of salad onto one slice of bread and lay 1 or 2 leaves of lettuce on the other slice of bread. Close the sandwich, slice diagonally and enjoy!
