Open Face Chickpea Salad Sandwich

When we set out to create a recipe from our way-too-delicious Organic Quinoa Bread we didn’t want to slap together just any ordinary sandwich, or salad, or salad on a slice of bread (debate this amongst yourselves), we wanted to throw in all the food groups. Vegetables, fruit, protein, grains, and of course that most important of food groups, amazing taste. Yes, it’s a food group. At least it is now. Face it, lots of bakeries leave it out – we heaped it on, thick. Enjoy.
