How to Prepare Chickpea “Tuna” Melt [Vegan]

Place all the "tuna" salad ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined. Or you can mash the chickpeas and mayo together, using a potato masher, then fold in the rest of the ingredients.
Lightly butter each slice of bread, top one slice with vegan provolone cheese, and pop both in the oven until toasty and the cheese has melted.
Top with chickpea salad, arugula, and cucumbers. Serve open-faced or closed. You can also add your favorite salad or sandwich dressing.
