Gluten-Free Buffalo Chickpea Salad Sandwich with Feta

This chickpea salad sandwich is so tasty! You can enjoy it with sourdough bread or your favorite toasted gluten-free bread. If you’re following low FODMAP, limit your garbanzo beans to 1/4 cup and add in cucumbers and green leafy veggies to boost satiety. For those trying to eat more plants on an IBS diet, sandwiches make the transition easier. Goat cheese can be substituted for feta if you prefer a creamier, tart, and more earthy flavor.
