Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down but still a bit chunky.

Step 5
Stir in the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dijon mustard until everything is well combined.
Step 6
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Step 7
Lay slices of sandwich bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chickpea-tuna mixture onto two slices.

Top the mixture with a leaf of lettuce and a few slices of tomato.
Step 9
Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
