Coming at you with a high protein vegetarian sandwich!

As someone who tries to eat 130 grams of protein per day, it can be hard to meet that goal with purely vegetarian foods. I came up with this chickpea salad sandwich that uses a skyr based dressing and a Mexican inspired spice blend to provide extra protein and flavor. Hope you enjoy!
