I mentioned in a previous post that my friend, Shelly, brought be some lovely goodies from her garden!
She gave me a wonderful idea for an “herbed chickpea salad.” I love chickpeas, so for today’s lunch, I prepared my own version using her fresh lemons & herbs.
Fresh Lemon, Herb & Chickpea Salad
Author: Vegenista
Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: Vegan
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. can chickpeas
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. each chopped fresh parsley, oregano & thyme (or any herbs you have on hand)
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Splash of red wine vinegar
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine chickpeas with the lemon juice, herbs, olive oil, garlic, & red wine vinegar, salt & pepper. Set aside to allow flavors to combine. Top with fresh lemon zest & a sprinkle of vegan parm!
This salad is light & fresh, packed full of zinc, folate, & protein, & has tons of zesty flavor! Great as a snack, a side dish, or tossed with peppery arugula as a hearty main-dish salad. Enjoy!
