The quickles, short for quick pickles, in this recipe aren’t the only thing that comes together fast. The chickpea salad sandwich is a snap to whip up as well. Transform satiating chickpeas into a fulfilling vegetarian stuffed pita that is perfectly balanced with the crunch of easy homemade pickles.
