This easy cucumber chickpea tartine offers the perfect lunch for a hot summer day. Freshly toasted bread pairs with creamy chickpeas and cool, crisp cucumber for a balanced, open-faced sandwich. While I prefer to slice up a fresh French boule for this recipe, a fresh baguette also works well here if sliced on a heavy bias. For a gluten free treat, simply use a gluten free baguette. In terms of flavor profile, this dish offers some flexibility. Depending on what you have on hand, feel free to swap lemon for lime or dill for tarragon. Either way, you’ll be happy with the results! Gluten free option. Soy free. Serves 4-6.
