We’re back to serve a public service announcement: you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy Disney’s plant-based snacks! Speaking of food, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has TONS of amazing dining options that are adventurous and exciting (obligatory shout-out to the beloved Nyala Brownie).
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Today, we’re trekking back to the Animal Kingdom Lodge to try a plant-based sandwich! Disney has been on a roll with its plant-based options lately, so our expectations were high. Will the new snack live up to our hopes? Let’s find out!
The Chickpea Salad Sandwich is a plant-based entree served at The Mara in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. It comes with tabbouleh and cucumber-tomato salad as additional sides!
This is a great little lunch!
How does chickpea salad taste compare to egg salad? We thought the taste was VERY similar — we actually liked it better than a traditional egg salad! The chickpea salad was served on amazing seed bread and came with a slice of crunchy lettuce. The tabbouleh (which is the salad in the smaller cup) was bright and flavorful, and the cucumber-tomato salad was refreshing, but could have used a little more dressing in our opinion.
This was a big winner for us!
This sandwich is perfect for vegans who might miss egg salad sandwiches (this was a GREAT dupe!), but even non-vegans might like this snack! Disney sells a lot of heavy, filling meals, but this was light and energizing! If you’re a little unsure about the tabbouleh, think of it like an herby salad — it’s packed with parsley so it’s nice and flavorful.
A great take on a classic sandwich!
You can buy this Chickpea Salad Sandwich at The Mara for $9.99. For two salads and a sandwich, we thought this was a pretty good value! Next time you find yourself at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, give this sandwich a try. In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and food reviews!
