Can a vegetarian sandwich actually help you hit a high protein daily target?
In short: Ethan Chlebowski demonstrates a high-protein vegetarian chickpea salad sandwich designed to help meet a 130-gram daily protein goal. By incorporating skyr into the dressing and using a specific spice blend, this recipe balances nutritional requirements with flavor, offering a practical solution for those struggling to maintain protein intake without meat.
The recipe centers on a chickpea base enhanced by a protein-rich dressing made from Siggi’s plain 0% skyr, pepperoncini liquid, and fresh cilantro. The flavor profile is driven by a Mexican-inspired blend of red hot chile powder, paprika, and cumin.
The assembly is a triple-decker sandwich using three slices of Eureka Grainiac bread, layered with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and the chickpea mixture. The chickpeas are prepared by half-mashing them with a potato masher to achieve the desired texture before being combined with the dressing and diced onion.
