Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they have a flaky texture, similar to tuna.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, dill pickle, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until combined.
Taste the chickpea mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and lightly toast them, if desired.
Lay two lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each hoagie roll.
Spoon the chickpea “tuna” mixture evenly over the lettuce on both rolls.
Top the chickpea mixture with tomato slices, cucumber slices, and alfalfa sprouts (if using).
Close the hoagie rolls with the top halves and gently press down.
Slice each hoagie in half for easier serving, and enjoy!
