Recipe Description

This Chickpea Salad is filling, delicious and vegan. Lebanese cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion are combined with avocado and chickpeas to create both crunchy and creamy textures. This superfast recipe makes a great side salad for pizza night, but it’s equally delicious when served as a snack with corn chips.

Start by prepping the ingredients for the salad. Dice the cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters and finely chop the parsley leaves. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Combine the prepped veggies, chickpeas, and parsley in a large salad bowl. Juice half a lemon over the top and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then toss the salad to coat. Eat and enjoy!
