Cheer Up With A Chickpea Sunflower Salad Sandwich

Looking for a lunch that will brighten up your day?  This Chickpea Sunflower Salad Sandwich will do just that.  We welcome fearless warrior for the animals, Dani Rukin on this episode of #LunchBreakLIVE.

 

PART ONE

 

PART TWO

 

Well, it looks like Dani was a success at making her first Chickpea Sunflower Salad Sandwich.

Dani Rukin (aka The Daring Vegan), is a #JaneUnChained citizen journalist and fearless, outspoken warrior for animals, tirelessly traveling the globe spreading the message of compassion, truth, equality, and justice for all.  She is an incredible activist for the animals and the planet.  Dani is also a pretty damn good cook too and she has many vegan recipes up her sleeve.  In fact, she has been on #LunchBreakLIVE several times, either cooking up amazing meals or traveling the globe showing us all the vegan options that exist around the world.  One of my favorites was a great episode where she showed us how to make vegan breakfast cookies.  I mean who doesn’t want a cookie for breakfast?  Check out that episode HERE.

Dani is also one of the contributing writers in powerful activist Brittany Michelson’s newly-released book, “Voices for Animal Liberation: Inspirational Accounts by Animal Rights Activists”. Her piece, “How I Made the Connection: Gay Rights, Feminism, and Animal Liberation”, speaks truth to power and calls readers forth to make the connection between the exploitation of animals and all other forms of injustice.
