Nourishing + Refreshing Chickpea Salad
Okay, let’s talk chickpeas. Actually, let’s talk chickpeas, feta cheese, and veggies topped with the perfect dressing. May I present… this recipe?! The lemon, olive oil, and red wine vinegar pair so well together, and highlight the chickpeas and veggies in a smooth and wonderful way.
This salad is refreshing, nourishing, and tastes absolutely amazing. It’s my go-to lunch for warm Spring and Summer days, especially when I’m running low on time.
Feel free to experience with the add-ins – sometimes I include avocado, spinach, olives, and/or chopped peppers and leave out the cucumbers. I’ve also experimented with adding chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and black and pinto beans, but I never leave out the chickpeas!
I find it can be hard to build a salad that is actually filling, but this has an incredible balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbs to work as a supplement to a meal or function on its own.
