One of my favorite things to make right now is chickpea salads. And when I begin a love affair with a particular recipe or food, it’s passionate and all consuming. Right now I see chickpea salads about 4-5 times a week.
Chickpea salad, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
- You are delicious, healthy & filling
- You are easy to make when I need to eat something NOW
- You stay fresh and perfect when I make you for lunch
- You are a delightful alternative from leafy salads
- You always keep me wanting more
In my opinion the heart of any chickpea salad is chickpeas and nuts. Those are the essence of its texture. For this salad I added flax seeds, hemp hearts, avocado, and salad dressing. For a healthier option than salad dressing just mix some olive oil with lemon and garlic. Then crack a bottle of wine and enjoy some quality time with chickpeas.
