Chick Pea Salad
A fresh plant-based, lettuce-free salad made with simple ingredients
Beans are such an awesome food!!…I can’t get over it. They’re tasty, inexpensive, nutritious, and so versatile!
If you’re looking for budget-friendly food ideas that are also super great for you, beans are the way to go. They have a good amount of protein and carbohydrates so they also make for a good plant-based option.
Chickpeas in particular are really useful in some dishes because they hold up better than other beans that get mushy easily.
This chick pea salad has a greek feel to it and I love it! Greek/Mediterranean seasonings and ingredients are my favorite and this recipe hit the spot!
You’ll only need 5 ingredients plus seasonings for this recipe so it’s a quick and easy one. It’s delicious as a meal, side dish, or snack!
