Are you looking for a vegan and super easy chickpea salad?
Perfect, as this summer I am totally into my legumes, especially chickpeas and lentils. So today I am going to show you how to make a super easy chickpea salad with hummus, cucumber & tomatoes.
Is this a superfood salad?
Yep, it actually is!
Chickpeas are so worth to be called superfoods- and after some research I can say yep, absolutely! They are rich in fibre, packed with nutrients, and also they are rich in plant based proteins. And they will keep you full longer. So this salad is not only vegan and healthy, nope, it also fills you up. That’s definitely a win-win situation!
While all of the above are super important, they would be worth nothing if they would not taste sooo good- they have this nutty flavor which I absolutely adore!
So, to sum it up, my chickpea salad is healthy and done in a minute! You can either serve it as a big Main Course for two people or as a nice starter for four people. The Hummus recipe in here is a bit adjusted, as you will need some chickpeas for the salad as well.
It would also go perfect along with some grilled chicken breast- why not with some lemon chicken from the grill? Or maybe some Shawarma?
