Make

Turn on the oven’s broiler (use the low setting if available). Place an oven rack at least 6” / 15 cm from the heat source.
Place bread in a single layer on a sheet pan.
Slide pan under broiler until bread is lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Top toasted bread with chickpea salad and sliced tomato. Tear cheese in half and top each piece of bread with 1/2 a slice of cheese. Slide pan back under the broiler and continue toasting until cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Just before serving, combine snap peas, radishes, and mixed greens in a large mixing bowl. Add vinaigrette until dressed to your liking. Toss everything to combine. Season with some salt and pepper.
Serve chickpea melts with salad on the side. Enjoy!
