Summer is the season of sandwiches. Here are a few delicious and simple sandwich ideas perfect for a sunny day picnic, poolside lounging, and a lunch date with friends!

Chickpea Salad Sandwich: Combine chickpeas with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and mustard. Mash the chickpeas a bit and then add them to the celery, salt, and pepper. Spread mayonnaise on the bread of your choosing before topping with lettuce, tomato, onion, your chickpea mixture, and finishing it off with the other slice of bread.
Greek Pitas: Start with either a homemade or store-bought Greek pita flatbread or substitute it with a regular pita brand. Layer chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and cucumbers in the pita. Top with either homemade or store-bought tzatziki sauce.
