Chickpea Salad is a versatile and wholesome dish often rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. It typically features nutrient-rich ingredients like chickpeas, crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, fresh parsley, and tangy red onions, all tossed in a vibrant dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and optional spices like cumin or paprika. This salad is celebrated for its health benefits, offering a boost of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and vitamin C. Chickpeas contribute complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, while olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The raw vegetables add antioxidants and hydration, making it a light and refreshing choice. While generally low in calories, moderation with olive oil and additional toppings like feta cheese should be considered to keep it heart-conscious. Perfect as a side, main, or snack, Chickpea Salad is both nutritious and satisfying.
