Healthy Chickpea Salad Recipe
Last Sunday I was standing in front of our refrigerator trying to think of something I can make ahead to prep my lunches for the week. I usually do chicken and veggies but after a while that can get pretty boring. I am not a huge sandwich person and was over the basic salads.
So I literally pulled some stuff out of my refrigerator and started putting some ingredients together. I ended up making the yummiest chickpea salad. It’s easy, quick to put together and everything is fresh. It lasts up to about 4 days but after that it may start to get soggy.
Even the dressing is homemade!
Here is how to make the chickpea salad recipe:
